Streetlevel: Greasy Spoon Lives Again on 7th Ave.
Eggs and bacon are back on the menu for the South Slope following the recent opening of the Little Purity Diner. The delectably named eatery—an offshoot of the New Purity Diner on 7th Avenue and 7th Street—has set up shop on 12th Street and 7th Avenue, in the space that used to house Katina’s Diner….

A gay place is a place that does not welcome people who do not understand the need for gay places.
Can’t anyone spell anymore?…and maybe we all don’t need nicer places…maybe we just need a greasy spoon. A cheap place to eat with runny eggs. This is Brooklyn after all!!!! And BTW as a straight person here….you gay guys really need to learn how to live in a neighborhood with all kinds of people….what is a gay place? Is it a place that doesn’t welcome straights? How would you like it if Purity didn’t welcome gays?….get over your gay-self (and I don’t mean that in a bad way.)
i thought it was named such because you had to be a virgin to eat there.
that’s why i always thought it was empty.
Am I missing something? What kind of name is “Purity”? For a diner no less…
my apt. is a gay place, 8:43…
Memories of moving into Park Slope in 1978…..late nights at McFeeley’s (was it still Camperdown Elm then?)….late mornings at the original Purity eating eggs over easy and chatting with George and laughing at the waitress we called Blinky…she took your order one item at a time, went to the kitchen, came back and took another item, went to the kitchen, came back etc….and the busty woman with the great boufant behind the counter, screaming to the kitchen “cup o creamo”….ahhhh the good old days!!!! They don’t call em greasy spoons for nothing and the definitely serve a purpose.
Sorry to say but Purity diner doesn’t have a good reputation for the food. The store is always packed though… Like someone said it may be a good hang out place!
And how annoying is it with those damn strollers and prams blocking store aisles and entries? They do fold don’t they?
Cool, cool, cool.
