Neptune Diner

It’s hard not to bump into Neptune Diner if you’re cruising down Astoria Boulevard. All roads (and one train) lead to the stone-covered institution, which some loudly proclaim “#1 in Queens” for its quintessential Greek-diner experience. Situated just off the Astoria Boulevard stop and cuddled by several major roads, Neptune draws ‘em in -- day and night, coupled-up or familied-out -- for great greasy grub and gigantic salads. Super-friendly wait staff are usually light on their feet, delivering coffee refills with a smile while you ponder the chicken kebabs with pita versus a heaping omelet with hangover-cure potatoes.
