Our Story

The Munson Diner has been around longer than most of us. The original — a 1945 Kullman lunch-car — sat on the corner of 49th and 11th in Hell’s Kitchen for sixty years, feeding cabbies, cops, longshoremen, night-shift nurses, and a cast of regulars that included a young Jerry Seinfeld and the cast of Saturday Night Live.

When Manhattan’s developers came calling in 2005, the diner didn’t get demolished — it got moved. Hauled 100 miles up the Quickway and set down on a new foundation here at 12 Lake Street, Liberty, NY. Same stainless steel. Same booths. New zip code.

Today Christos Kritikos and his family run the place — Greek-American homestyle, breakfast served all day, pies baked that morning, gyro on the spit. Christos himself is at the door, ready to greet you.

Come see us at 12 Lake Street, Liberty, NY, or call (845) 747-9912.
