The Stardust Diner features great neon lettering, somewhat reminiscent of an old Vegas classic that's soon to be leaving us forever. The Stardust is a great stop after seeing a play on Broadway, featuring singing waiters/waitresses serving heaps of food. And who knows, you may see the person serving you may be hitting it big on Broadway soon after your meal. 01-07
