Chat 'N Chew 2.0 is now open on 16th Street just west of Union Square.

The comfort-food diner opened late last week. EVG reader Harry Weiner reports that there is a limited dinner menu only for now, but breakfast and lunch will be offered soon.

Harry also asked about two of his old favorites here — Thanksgiving on a Roll and Chinese Chicken Salad. Management said those items will be served. Here's the menu for now...

EVG reader Harry Weiner shared this photo from Monday... showing Chat 'N Chew looking as if it never closed three-plus years ago on 16th Street just west of Union Square.

Per Harry: "If you peer inside, it looks eerily the same as the old one."

The homespun restaurant has a new Instagram account (as of Sept. 30) with one post...

On their landing page: "NEW ACCOUNT! A Union Square staple is coming back! Check back for updates on an opening date! Looking forward to see old friends & making new ones!"

Apparently they have been teasing a return in their front window dating back to the summer. Now it looks as if they're ready to open complete with holiday decorations.

Anyway, the comfort-food diner first opened in 1994 before quietly closing in July 2014, as Jeremiah Moss first reported. The owners were to revamp the space that fall as a pop-up concept Little Sal's Italiano.

The operating owner, Andrew Silverman, was also behind a variety of concept-y places, such as Steak Frites and News Bar.
