Open 24 Hours

I am forgetting the names of the two diners that are on 5th avenue and 9th street. Both are open 24 hours. So is the Dunkin donuts there.

Sidecar at 5th ave and 15th st - kitchen (quality food) is open until 4.

If you're taking the F home, there's two bodegas on 7th ave that are open 24 hours. One is between 9th and 10th or 10th and 11th, orange awning, called Pepper Mill I think. The other is right at the corner of 7th ave and 12th street. The first one has a better food selection, the latter has a better beer selection, iirc.

If you're taking the R home...I think there's also a pizzeria on 5th ave that is open for slices and such pretty late, I don't remember the name but it is on the east side of 5th ave somewhere between 9th and 12th.

Welcome to the neighborhood~

CVS Pharmacy on 9th st between 5th & 6th ave is open 24 hrs

Welcome! We moved out here from the same neighb: from 86th and 1st

You're going to miss Agata & Valentino, Schaller and Weber, and the proximity of so many movie theaters. Also, although the UES is no bastion of great pizza or Chinese food, it's still better than what's available in Park Slope. In every other respect, I think you'll find that your new location is a step up. And it won't be hard to beat Gracie Corner as your local diner.

Now wait a minute. Nick's has pretty darned good pizza, as do Totono's and Pintails

And if you like Nick's you like Anthony's (Nick has a piece of the action) and it's the same cannoli

But hey that's my opinion and lets not start any more pizza wars

The thing you won't find is bagels as good as off the cart on 86th and 3rd, well bagel hole is close

NO WAY! I hope that was sarcasm, because Bagel Hole is way better! And Terrace Bagels is another strong neighborhood asset.

No, but now I regret that I didn't. I lived on 85th between 1st and 2nd for 6 years, and the best I could do there was Tal Bagels (not good by any objective standard) and Bagelry (decent, but a long walk, and definitely not in the same league as Bagel Hole). I always walked up the south side of 86th toward the subway, so I never tried the cart on the other side. I wonder where he gets the bagels from.

He got them in Jersey where he lived.

Too bad you never got to Bagel Bob's on York btwn 86th and 87th. Better than Tal (though I like the apple turnovers at Tal) but not as good as Bagel Hole more on par with Terrace
I've been to Bagel Bob's. I thought they were ok but nothing special. The only reasons I went to Tal Bagels are: 1) they were closest, admittedly a weak reason; 2) The bagels were tolerable if eaten fresh and hot; 3) their whitefish salad was superb; 4) their nova was also excellent. I always thought of Tal Bagels more of an appetizing store that also sold bagels as a vehicle for the other stuff. Like getting a bagel at Sable's (although not as good as that in the smoked fish department).

7-11 at 5th and 13th!
