Change may be the only constant, but there are more good diners remaining in the area. Several are along Fourth Avenue and there are many more along Third Avenue. One, at the corner of 3rd Ave and 7th St has probably the lowest prices in the area. It's also many times larger than the Donuts Coffee Shop.

Meanwhile, along 5th Ave, on the other side of 9th St -- the higher numbered streets -- there are lots of diners. A good one is on 5th Ave near the Prospect Expressway overpass.
