authentic NYC breakfast on Lexington Ave

[amandajj]

Is anyone aware of a good, authentic American diner that serves breakfast on Lexington Avenue (somewhere between E37 and E38th Streets)? I want to take a first-time visitor to NYC to a typically American place. Thanks.

I thought Sarge's had closed a while ago. Am I wrong?

Yes, Sarge's is up and running 24 hours a day...great stuff

Sarge's Deli is on 3rd Av., b/t 36th & 37th Sts. With its vast menu, including lots of breakfast options, it's more like a diner. Open 24/7.

Raffels?

[RGR]

If you mean Raffles, I believe it has closed.

[NAtiveNewYorker]

It has closed. But maybe that's the place weinstein5 was thinking of. (Remains to be seen.)

I had breakfast once at Raffles a long time ago. If memory serves, it was on the corner of Lex & 49th.

Penelope is not a diner but is a typically American place at 30th on Lexington.
