How could you go wrong here?

"Be prepared to satisfy your hunger by stopping at Fred's Diner. We recommend you order Fred's favorite foods such as Bronto Burgers, Chickasaurus Dinner, Fishasaurus Sandwich, and end your meal with a piece of Gravelberry Pie. Don't let the kids miss out on the Dino Dogs!"

Grubstake is a late night diner in all its Americana glory. Located just off the corner of Polk and Pine in the lower Nob Hill of San Francisco, it’s open every night ‘till 4am. There are booths and a counter with stools, in fact half of the place is a converted cable car, in which, for you film noir fans, Bogart’s Dark Passage was filmed.

Igloo Restaurant with Ernie Hughes (standing) and Ralph Grossman, Seattle, 1941


"The Igloo, a diner and drive-in restaurant at the southeast corner of 6th Avenue and Denny Way, operated from late 1940 until sometime in 1954. It featured a distinctive twin-domed design intended, like much vernacular commercial architecture of its period, to grab the attention and business of passing motorists. The Igloo was established by Ralph Grossman and Ernie Hughes, and later managed by Sander's Fountain Lunches".

"According to telephone directory listings and other data, the Igloo opened for business in 1940. Located at the Denny Way ramps to and from Aurora Avenue -- then Seattle's primary north-south highway -- the eatery's pair of metal-clad "igloos" and ice-blue neon sign enticed travelers and locals alike".

Wow! LOVE these pics of old diners. We used to go to the Delaware beaches (from SE Penna. area and ALWAYS stopped at the Smyrna, Delaware diner (about half-way point)! Great memories! (like getting an apartment above the pancake house in Rehoboth Beach (or maybe it was Dewey Beach...;-) !! What a great childhood growing up in the 50s.
