The Vintage Diner

[NancyNGA]

The B&H Diner, Second Ave, New York, NY
"... A 400-square-foot restaurant (designed more along the lines of the older luncheonettes). To go from the front door to the back, you have to walk sideways."

Call of Duty Diner

 

[NancyNGA]

The Empire Diner, Chelsea, Manhattan, NYC
"Constructed by the Fodero Dining Car Company in 1946, it was closed and nearly abandoned in 1976 when new owners ... renovated the former greasy spoon on then-grungy 10th Ave and turned it into the landmark restaurant."

This picture looks a little older than 1946, but it's the same location.

Andy's Diner

An old diner briefly located in my home town. Never saw it. Other side of town.

Tracking it down...

"The former Salem Deluxe Diner is an O'Mahony diner from 1934. The diner was originally located in Salem, OH. After that, it was briefly located in Akron, OH, where it was known as Joe's Diner. In 1994, the diner was sold to the Illinois Railway Museum where it is being restored. ... These photos are from 2012."

Frank's in Kenosha,Wisconsin.

I've never seen a public sink like the one in the left corner.

Bea, I almost re-posted this same diner and picture, but remembered the corner sink at the last minute.

"When the prefab railcar-style establishment was pulled into Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 1926 by a team of horses, townsfolk lined the streets to watch. In its time under founder Anthony Franks, it served the likes of the Three Stooges, Bela Lugosi, Duke Ellington, and Liberace." (What were they all doing in Kenosha? )

Frank's Diner - Today

​

Frank's is known for its garbage plates.

So, looks like the Kenosha Theater was where all the action was back then! Thanks for the video, Meanderer.

(This thread is getting too long to remember everything that's been posted. )

I thought it was just me!

When I repost a photo I blame it on a senior moment.
