How many restaurants are there in NYC? 18,696. One of the top five is a diner on Broadway, within sight of the Gershwin Theatre.i Last night we ate at one of the top fantastic NYC restaurants,<b> Ellen’s Stardust Diner</b> on Broadway in the Theater District. Located at 1650 Broadway, Corner of 51st Street NY, NY 10019, 212-956-5151. Or http://www.ellensstardustdiner.com. Don’t miss it if you get the chance!

If you don’t like music, this place will simply annoy you, but for the rest of us, it’s a must-see experience. The decor is like a 50s diner but a little over the top.

And if a great location and a fun atmosphere isn’t enough, the food is awesome. Check out this chicken pot pie!

But the best reason to go is for the entertaining singing waitstaff. Yeah, I know, there are singing waiters from Altoona to Zanzibar, but this is Broadway, baby! The Big Apple. THESE singing waiters are often Auditioning and working in Broadway shows. The stars of tomorrow, but at Ellens, they are stars today! Here’s a sample:

So we bid a fond farewell to Ellens Stardust Diner, at least until tomorrow night!
