The space-age Market Diner in Hell’s Kitchen, once a hangout for Frank Sinatra, could open in a few weeks, according to folks at sister eatery Cosmic Diner.
The diner, which will feature an outdoor patio and an updated interior was set to open in early June but apparently has seen some setbacks. Owners are still unsure of a solid open date.
The 1962 diner’s exterior, with its zig-zag roof in the Googie architectural style, will be surrounded by outdoor seating for up to a 100 people. Before it closed in 2006, the diner was known as one of the few businesses in Manhattan to have its own customer parking lot.
The indoor changes will create a more natural and modern look, an owner has said. The decor will feature a rock sculpture and wooden furnishings.
The eatery, at West 43rd Street and 11th Avenue, will also feature a bar that will sell frozen drinks. The Market will also add a couple of non-diner items to its classic American fare, such as spring rolls.
The Tsinias family, which leases the diner from Moinian Group, has been in the diner business for almost 35 years and owns the Cosmic Diner, which moved to West 52nd Street and Eighth Avenue after many years in Columbus Circle.
