Waverly Restaurant

This iconic West Village diner—trussed with the traditional trappings of vinyl-padded booths and counter seating—offers American standards 24 hours a day. The menu is long and varied, filled with the requisite Belgian waffles, triple-decker sandwiches and deluxe burger platters. And if there’s any doubt of its greasy-spoon leanings, your omelette order arrives still in the frying pan.
