Modern Snack Bar

Modern serves large portions of comfort food, all with a mid-century neon sign in front of the restaurant to welcome you in. They’ve been doing classic diner dishes since 1950—think chicken pot pie, pot roast, and mashed turnips, with plenty of seafood options and interesting Long Island beer. This is not the place to share small plates, so come for a reuben at lunch, or a half-roasted chicken at dinner. For dessert, get a slice of the towering, house-baked lemon meringue.
