The chef at the Brooklyn Museum restaurant devised a Studio 54 popup menu a while back which was perhaps less amusing than he thinks. And, btw, the OG meatloaf sandwiches cost $3.25.
Signature Dishes
Hustle Disco Fries, crispy shoestring fries, brown gravy with melted cheese, curds and topped with a fried egg; The Stacked Waldorf Salad with apple slices, candied walnuts, feta cheese, and arugula; Country Fried Chicken with white country gravy & mixed green salad and “The Stevie”, oversized meatball covered in Parmesan cheese, stuffed with macaroni and cheese, served with homemade sauce on a garlic crostini.
Signature Drinks
The Dancing Queen with Bacardi Rum, white peach & mint and the Ecstasy and Excess with Absolut Vodka, Tanqueray Gin, Bacardi Rum, Arete Tequila, Blue Curacao, lime juice, muddled kiwi & pineapple.

Basement in Queens is where you go if dancing and not social climbing is what you're interested in, according to NY mag.
Here's the nearish-by top-ranked Court Square Diner sandwich menu. You can still get an egg sandwich for $3.25. Meatloaf sandwich, $9.45. And breakfast is served all day, if not all night. Diners are way fancier than they used to be, though.

What's interesting is King George and the diner both get the point -- meat sandwiches, handhelds, coffee, ice cream, soft drinks,
Dance on.
