Anyone visiting the Bus Stop Diner in Carteret, New Jersey will treat themselves not only to some good food in a renovated space, but a gallery of poster-sized vintage linen postcards featuring streamline and art deco Greyhound stations as well. My company performed those renovations in 2006, and...
Yesterday I drove out to Trooper, Pennsylvania to meet with Steve Harwin of Diversified Diners at the forlorn Gateway Diner. Closed since 2003, this diner now stands in the way of a radical redevelopment of the property at the junctions of Route 363 and Ridge Pike in that town. At one time,...
Though this isn't the first time we've heard of the Shawmut Diner going on the market, it is the first time Phil and Celeste Paleologos have announced it publicly. It's a beautiful diner, kept in great condition by its owners and it deserves another 30 years or more serving the community.
Another diner relegated to the history books. Photo by Michael Rosol. I just received word tonight from Woodbridge Patch that the demolition of Mom's Diner in Avenel, New Jersey is complete. You will no longer find it listed in the Diner Finder. Clearing this rare early 1950s Fodero diner from the...

After setting up shop in Ambler, Pennsylvania, Roadside Magazine covered the town's burgeoning revival, which today is in full bloom (and we called it!). We also stop in for something to eat at the Bus Stop Diner in Carteret, New Jersey, and at O's Eatery in Chatham, New York. Roadside Magazine...

The Saco Drive-in bills itself as the second oldest ozoner in the country (presumably after Shankweiler's), and it too faces extinction thanks to the digital conversion besetting the industry. This video report from Channel 6 in Portland, Maine explores the issue in some detail. See the video...
So, you want to buy a diner? As it happens, I still field calls and emails from people looking to buy a real, stainless-steel clad, vintage diner. Not as many as I once did, but they still come in because I do maintain a "Diner for Sale" category at the Diner Finder. I no longer make it a point of...
In a rare bit of diner move news with a happy ending, we learned this past month that the former Foster Street Diner, Worcester diner number 598, located in Peabody, Massachusetts has shipped to Shannock, Rhode Island. Its new owner Sandy Neuschatz plans a full restoration and has hired Richard Gutman as the project's consultant. Richard also serves as the director the Johnson & Wales Culinary Museum which is currently working to restore its own diner, the former Everready Diner.
The photo at right shows the diner now stripped of its long-time shingled covering displaying its former name. The 1928-vintage structure was moved by O.B. Hill Riggers of Natick, Massachusetts. Newspaper stories originally reported the involvement of the Imaginary Diner Museum, but Roadside has since learned that after some research, Mr. Neuschatz opted instead to hire someone with some actual credentials in diner restoration, and who runs an actual museum. Mr. Neuschatz also dodged another bullet by wisely rejecting Daniel Zilka's offer to "hold" a newly discovered frosted window original to the diner. Mr. Neuschatz plans to operate the diner in Shannock. No word yet on a timetable for his plans.
That is good news..I have eaten in that diner and was sorry to see it go. Now I know where to find it....this is a great site. <br /><br />Check out our Facebook page...The Soiciety for the Advancement and Preservation of American Pastimes. This is devoted to travelling the country adn of course eatting at small diners and cafes.<br /><br />Mark<br />Beverly, Ma.
