Is this good news? Heard that the infamous Grecian Corner on 7th Ave across from John Jay is in the process of being sold.
Anyone hear more?
I for one would like to see the Greasy go!

    I agree. It was one of the worst diners I'd been too. Shoud have been named Greasyian Diner. I always felt like I needed to take a shower after being in there. ughh!

    The unanimity with which that place is despised is amazing. Can it really be as bad as we all think it is? Someone must be keeping the place alive...

    I had a couple of spectacularly mediocre meals there in the early 90's and have never even considered going back. And yet... it's just a diner - how bad can it really be?

    Is it a favorite hang-out of Methodist Residents or something?

    I always liked Grecian corner too. It was very close to my old place, so I went regularly. Granted, I only ever ordered eggs, which are pretty hard to screw up. But the reason I go to diners is so I can order eggs at any hour of the day. I'm a simple girl.

    Well Daisy's Diner on 5th ave is not mediocre at all!!

    The Purity is a better choice is you are a Resident or any one who works at Methodist Hospital..

    I think the Grecian should be put out of its misery,, Take aim!

    Whatever the case, i hope we get something of use in place of grecian. It's such a pity that banks tend to be taking over the hood but they are the highest paying commercial renters so it's not really a surprise.
