LITTLE PETE'S
One of several unrelated Little Pete's in town, this one is a crowded, smoky diner serving delicious milkshakes and yummy, greasy food. Strangely, Messy's jalapeno poppers came with a bowl of marinara sauce instead of sour cream, but they tasted good nonetheless.
Picky's grilled cheese and onion rings were not so memorable, but his vanilla bean milkshake was totally delish. We went with a group of five and had no room to breathe. But the food was good enough to make us come back for breakfast, a fest of greasy goodness eaten around the counter with a colorful cast of characters.
Keep the parties small, and don't stay too long or you'll need a ventilator, but all-in-all, this is above-average diner food with no suprises. Messy spent two hungover mornings in a row chowing down on eggs and home fries, the perfect morning-after cure-all meal.
Messy ***1/2
Picky **
The final word: Better than your average diner.

Try the eggs benedict - it's like nowhere else - absolutely delicious! I crave it after a night of hard drinking at the Continental Midtown.
