"The diner was a filming location for 'Anora,' the 2025 Oscar Best Picture winner set in southern Brooklyn. It was a great representation of the diner and the community."
"If you came here 10 years ago, 70 percent of the people would still be the same. We take care in every detail, and we want everyone to feel like they belong."
The Parkview Diner in Coney Island has become more than just a dining establishment; it's a vital part of the local community. Co-owner Adam Fathelbab emphasizes its legacy as a 'home away from home,' reflecting its rich history dating back decades. Initially the site of rival watermelon stands, the location transitioned through various diner iterations before the Fathelbab family revitalized it in 2013. With a dedicated staff maintaining high levels of customer care, the diner has garnered a loyal clientele, recently gaining recognition as a filming location for the Oscar-winning movie 'Anora.'
