Service With A Smile

Thanks to the Highliner, your late-night options are looking up


It's 3 am and you and your companion aren't ready to call it a night yet. Far from it, in fact.

Though you could both use a refuel before making it back to your place.

The Highliner is your after-hours AAA service, bringing you a dawn-nearing menu of grub (till 5 a) that doesn't just get the job done — it actually goes that extra mile.

Whether you're craving mussel poutine, a gloppy and addictive pile of fries and briny gravy, or perhaps just one more cocktail to round out the night, you'll be happy you parked yourself at this Chelsea eatery.

If you were a fan of the iconic Empire Diner formerly at this spot, the look will be familiar to you — not that you'll notice once you're tucking into that crunchy and succulent lamb BLT.

And tomorrow, when hunger strikes again, why not extend your morning (after) with a plate of cinnamon-spiced Belgian waffles or a beautiful mess of corn tortillas topped with fried eggs and fresh salsa verde.

You can also get lunch or dinner here, though we stand by the morning or late-night menus, both for the experience and the food.

Either way, make this diner a destination, not just a pit stop.
