@goldendinerny more than lived up to its reputation with its world-famous pancakes and New American diner food. The Honey Butter Pancakes were light, fluffy, and worth every bite, served with honey maple butter and finished with just a touch of fresh lemon zest. The Matzoh Ball Soup was the best I’ve ever had, with an incredibly light matzoh ball, vegetables, and a hearty homemade chicken broth. The Vegan Grilled Cheese & Kimchi Tomato Soup was delicious enough to win over even non-vegans, made with vegan chili cheddar, smoked gouda, and garlic oil, served on griddled white bread with a side of kimchi tomato soup. Definitely one of the best brunch spots in NYC. Pro tip: If you’re just after the pancakes, you can skip the line and order them at their newer sister restaurant, Golden HOF, in Midtown.
