New Riff on Chinatown Restaurant-Bar Brings Back Vegan and Vegetarian Fare
Fans of the old Downbeat Diner can find new takes on meaty and vegan favorites, complete with a conspiratorial twist, at the new Other Side Diner.

If you’re craving some diner fare with vegetarian and vegan options, you can still find it at a familiar place with a new name: The Other Side Diner.
That’s because when quirky Downbeat Diner in Chinatown closed, the owners of neighboring nightclub and concert venue NextDoor were already looking for a way to take it over. An outright purchase didn’t work out, so Downbeat was reborn with a new name and a theme that’s a cross between ‘50s diner and conspiracy theorist hideout.
