Try the diner on 42nd bet 9th and 10th - the old Kraft that now moved to their new digs and I can't remember their name. I like that better than Westway. But you're right, Hell's Kitchen needs a good diner. At least Brooklyn Diner has a Times Square location now - try that. I like Empire Diner and enjoy their apple & walnut omellets.

The "drive-in" aspect is intriguing. I used to try to picture it as if it were in "Happy Days," with Richie and Potsie, and waitresses on rollerskates in the parking lot. Thanks! I'll have to try Mr. Biggs. Me too. The “drive-in” aspect is intriguing.
