"Someone goes to a DINER, and expect GRADE A STEAK?!?!? It 's a DINER. Saying that, I eat regularly at Nations. While I 've always enjoyed it (for my VERY early breakfast), there have been staff changes recently, and it does seem Nation 's is in a bit of flux. I 've NO connection with Nations, but, the staff have ALWAYS been exceedingly nice as has the owner, Mike. I don 't know why Jason and others grumble about this place and other businesses here being 'unfriendly. ' Nation 's is NOT unfriendly. His whole bizarre 'racist ' rant do you really think a bunch of Mexican waiters who clientele is made up of not only NYC 'ers, but, the UN 's staff is/can afford to be 'racist '?!?! In fact, while your reviews only help those of us who live and patronize places regularly and DON 'T want frakkin ' tourists, it hurts the business. The only thing I can say, is that this is New York City NOT a small town. Things DO move much faster, and our brusqueness is how we ALL operate. A LOT of tourists seem to be under the (mistaken) impression that this city OUR home is a cross between Disneylnd, and TGIF, and everything should be kid friendly, and running nice slow, cheerily welcoming, and all that. It 's NOT. IF you are here on a visit, and you understand that, you will do MUCH better. Wherever you go."
