Broadway Diner • 1959

Neon signs and chrome booths have anchored this 24-hour Bayonne institution since 1959, where three generations have stacked what the family bills as the world's best pancakes. The menu spans Greek diner classics to Italian Sunday buffets, served around the clock to Hudson County shift workers, families, and late-night regulars. Order the pancakes at 3 a.m. and understand why this place never closes.
