LOL, thanks for posting this Ivan. This diner is right across the street from my office, I eat there three times a week, at least. It's a bastion! We are all so happy it's been saved!'
I actually saw these British reporters in there the other day, and then forgot all about it 'til I saw this post. This diner is the only place a person can go to have a cup of coffee and smoke a cigarette in peace these days.
They also have a liquor license, and make a mean Greek Salad, best I've ever had. Some of their dishes are better than others, but for a "greasy spoon" many are excellent. The article doesn't mention that they are open 24 hours a day, 363 days a year (closed Christmas & New Years Day).
The Flaming-O (as my dear departed boss used to call it) is saved! Three cheers for democracy!

Nice to hear a 'hands on' report of a place we comment about. (Actually 'hands on' is a bad choice of phrase, how about 'mouths on')
BTW, I'm a sucker for a good Greek salad (extra tomatoes, extra feta, hold the olives!!!) :-)
