I have a question for you. Now for several years I have been looking for a old nickname of the old fashion type of dinners. I had stopped in a dinner about 15 years ago in Liberty, NY. While I was there I noticed near the cashier there was a stack of newspapers. These papers were all about dinners & if I remember correctly they were published by a dinner association based in Conn. The name of the newsletter is the same term that I have been searching for now for several years. I when back to the dinner, but its has a new owner & no newsletter. Do you know the name of the association’s newsletter? Thank You.
Also there is a very old dinner in Walden, NY, on route 52, only a few minutes from the famous Cup & Saucer Dinner in Pine Bush, NY.
Greasy Spoon?
Roadside Magazine?
By The Way Magazine?
Hello dinerman,
Just found your site and I too love old diners. I am looking for a photograph of the old Willow Grove Diner in Willow Grove, PA. I know it closed around 1963 and now sits on Brainbridge Island, Washington.
Can anyone help?

Here’s an interior shot. All the exterior shots I can find of the place are at its new Washington location.
