greasy spoon diner with only OK fare, but it is cheap.
I like to go to places where they ignore the customer on purpose, and Lido is one of them. I say that sarcastically, but it is true- they let you hang around and drink coffee without too much of a bother. Probably because most of their clientele are high-schoolers skipping class, street kids, and late night bar folk.
I have tried a few items on the menu, but come there for a grilled cheese and fries, it costs like 5 bucks and is totally worth 5 bucks. Not necessarily better than i can make at home, but i guess the nostalgia factor is worth it for me now to remember all those high-school days of paying the tab with nickels and dimes.
It's a place to go, and eat some food, and it wont cost a lot.
