We've been twice and both gotten the standard burger platter both times. The burgers are decent, but the food is a little overpriced for how much food you get. I don't think we'd ever go if not for the 20% discount we get for living at the hotel and the convenience of it. Last week, we tried another diner called the Skylight Diner, that's 1 block away...
The inside of the Skylight...
Eating here made me sad that we ate at the Tick Tock at all! The food is amazing and you get a lot of it. Plus, it's cheaper than the Tick Tock even without a discount. The burgers were huge and delicious and the fries (I tried the sweet potato fries and Pat had the regular kind) were possibly the best fries I've ever had...
Next time I'm craving diner food, I'm definitely walking 1 block over to the Skylight and not settling for the Tick Tock.
On the opposite spectrum of these down-home diners is the trendy Soho resturant Rice to Riches. Rice pudding is the only thing they serve, but it comes in a rainbow of flavors. Pat and I came here last summer and, after finding out that it is only 2 blocks from where we play dodgeball, we returned to Rice to Riches last night before our game...
The inside is small and super modern...
Their rice pudding comes in these cute re-usable plastic containers with a little re-usable paddle spoon...
With so many flavors, it's hard to decide which one to get, but luckily, they'll let you sample any of the flavors before you commit. I couldn't decide between "Coast to Coast Cheesecake," "Sex Drugs and Rocky Road" and "Cream-cicle Tickle." Pat got "Honey Graham for Mr. Smith" and I finally settled on "Cream-cicle Tickle"...
Both flavors were amazing and the pudding is super filling, I could barely eat half of mine, which was the smallest size. If anyone is ever in New York City that even remotely like rice pudding, I strongly suggest coming to Rice to Riches...

Love your pictures! But the last one is kinda weird...looks like a bowl of throw-up with a tongue sticking out. May taste good...but looks, well, yukky to say the least. Can't wait to try out some of these great finds! Counting the days!
I love rice pudding. We'll have to go there when we come out in May. The burgers look delish too. Miss you.
