We're riding the B and V from Coney Island all the way to Forest Hills, jumping off frequently to rave about our favorite restaurants and food stores near the subway.
Northern Boulevard, in Astoria, isn't exactly what you think of as a great restaurant neighborhood. (If you love big-box stores and car dealerships, though, it's nirvana.) But work your way down a couple of blocks and, hidden next to a vacant lot, is what might be the last freestanding classic railroad-style diner in New York City. It's called, fittingly, the New York Diner and is blissfully un-self-aware.">
我们从科尼岛一路乘坐B型和V型公路到森林山，不时跳下火车，对附近我们最喜欢的餐馆和食品店赞不绝口地铁。
阿斯托里亚的北方大道(Northern Boulevard)并不完全是你想象中的好餐馆社区。(不过，如果你喜欢大卖场和汽车经销商，那就是天堂了。)但沿着几个街区往前走，在一块空地的旁边，就有一家可能是纽约市最后一家独立的经典铁路式餐厅。它被恰如其分地称为“纽约餐厅”，非常幸福un-self-aware。
也许是因为这个地方太偏远，媚俗鉴赏家无法到达，或者是因为真正的60年代食客不如当代食客有吸引力。(40多年来，The New York Diner餐厅的墙上一直贴着相同的菜单，而且菜单基本上仍然是准确的。)蹲在小隔间里，你可以吸入一个完美的圆盘状、覆盖着美式奶酪的汉堡;三层肉馅三明治，像鸡蛋沙拉一样轻盈松软，配上一杯现在很少见到的棕色肉汁;咖啡和肉汁一样，盛在绿色镶边的搪瓷器皿里，这种器皿曾经在餐厅里很普遍。这个地方就像一台时间机器，当你回到未来，看到这里的风和现代汽车(Hyundai)经销商，你会希望自己没有离开在后面。
