Pete's Grill: The Place to Eat?

 

(RIP Casa Romana)

Okay. Pete's Grill isn't great. In fact, sometimes it's kinda bad. 

BUT

Pete's Grill is the place you can stumble into at 4:30 in the morning (if the Taco Truck is gone) and get a Bacon Cheeseburger with Sweet Potato Fries and a darn good milkshake or whatever else tickles your drunken fancy. It's a true New York diner, so you can basically get anything that you want, anytime. Lamb Souvlaki Platter for breakfast? Why not?!

("oatmeal." served with packaged honey and cinnamon. what I imagine "gruel" to taste like)

The other good thing about Pete's Grill is that they are quick on their delivery. This could also be due to the fact that I live extraordinarily close to Pete's Grill, but still... let's just say that the morning after (/during? /did it even happen? I was too drunk to know) Hurricane Irene, while other businesses had shuttered their windows and doors, I ordered breakfast from Pete's and it came within 8 minutes.

("double espresso.")

The morning I went to Pete's and took these pictures, someone at the table next to us choked and had to have the Heimlich Maneuver performed on them! It was pretty intense. The weirdest part was that they were celebrating someone's birthday, opening presents and such, and it got pretty awkward after the whole choking incident... 

anyway,

(pancakes, bacon, eggs. you can't really go wrong.)

 So, if you live in Sunnyside and it is late at night and you have a sudden craving to order 4 different types of french fries (this happened, i have the receipt on my fridge to prove it), call up Pete's Grill. Otherwise, check out NY Style Eats, La Flor or any of the other great breakfast spots in the 'hood.

(c'mon, Pete. a little effort next time.)

Their sign claims that Pete's is "The Place to Eat." Maybe "Pete's Grill: A Place to Eat" would be more appropriate.
