The Viand (New York City)
The final diner I went to while in New York City was The Viand. I heard good things about it so I was excited to try it out. The Viand is located on the Upper West Side and there is also a Viand Cafe as well as Viand in New York City.
The Viand Atmosphere: A
The outside of The Viand stands out on the Main Street on the Upper West Side. It’s got cute shades, windows, and a closed outdoor seating area. When we arrived, it was already busy and we scored one of the last tables.
The Viand Coffee: B
The coffee at The Viand was decent but nothing to write home about. It was hot, but there was nothing unique or unusual about it.
The Viand Food: A
The Viand menu has a combination of the typical diner as well as upscale items. A few things that stuck out to me were the huevos rancheros, burgers, flatbread, and pancakes.
For an appetizer, I decided to order the Mediterranean flatbread. The flatbread was one of the best I’ve had. There were olives, onions, tomato and feta. I have no regrets.
For my entree, I ordered the blueberry pancakes with whipped cream. An interesting combination of food? The pancakes themselves were excellent, and they were light and fluffy. I was pleased with my choice.
The Viand Service: A
The Viand was great. The waiter took our orders quickly and the food came out fast. I couldn’t have asked for better service.
The Viand Cost: $
For the coffee, flatbread, and pancakes it was $25.

Questions for you:
Do you like flatbread?
What’s your favorite type of pancake?
What an interesting meal combination. I am not sure I would have been able to order pizza and pancakes at a meal. lol! But those pancakes would have been a definite YES for me with a side of sausage and roasted breakfast potatoes!
