The Square Diner, Tribeca, New York City

The Square Diner is a cosy old-fashioned diner in the heart of Tribeca. It’s a perfect spot to escape from the bustle. The staff is friendly, and the food is delicious with generous portions and amazingly low prices for New York City! It was a warm day when we stopped for breakfast, so we sat outside which was a real treat. This is a real jewel!
It so happened that we were in town on the anniversary of 9/11, so after breakfast we walked the ten blocks or so to Ground Zero. There were thousands of visitors milling about. There was a definite heaviness in the air. When we visited St. Paul’s, a little church right next to Ground Zero, the emotions of that day just flooded right back. The emergency workers used the church as a resource center and as a place to rest. The exhibits and photos of people who perished brought tears to my eyes.
