Tom’s Restaurant

Harlem & Upper Manhattan


The exterior of Tom’s may look familiar if you’re a fan of the TV series Seinfeld, but the interiors are all New York Greek diner. As in, busy. Reminisce about those Kramer scenes while chomping on classic burgers, gyros, bagels or gut-warming homemade soups. Breakfast is served all day, and Tom's is open 24 hours Friday to Saturday.
