Diner Favorites Get a Fresh Take at The Hayden

Adam Lampinstein is on a mission.

“I’m trying to make meatloaf sexy,” says the owner of The Hayden.

At his old-school diner with a modern feel, he’s going beyond meatloaf and bringing a fresh vitality to pastrami, latkes and a fish spread. Along with classics, he adds several items you don’t usually see on a diner menu—barbacoa, fried chicken and even a sauerkraut-stuffed kolache.
