Who:   Balebatisheh Yiden and everyone else... the neighborhood families, the night owls, the hip locals.
What:   The legendary Canter's. Still going strong at 75, it's serving nosh-whether you want a biseleh or a whole lot-24 hours a day. Diner booths and a lofty stained glass ceiling make up the irresistibly retro decor. Towering sandwiches or a bowl of matzo ball soup are regular favorites. The adjacent Kibitz Room pours cheap beer and offers eclectic and quirky live music.
Why:   'Round-the-clock dining doesn't get homier or better.
