They seem to have missed a chain of five diners in Manhattan that are very popular. They are owned by good businessmen from Greece who have the sense to do things like get 50-year leases. (Rumor is that the Empire Szechuan Gourmet lady owner buys all her buildings to avoid getting one of those displacing rent increases. Not sure how true that is, but smart if she can afford it.)

My main complaint about diners is that they tend to go trendy instead of just improving the quality of the food and keeping it diner fare.

These are not real diners. Real diners keep it simple, consistent, good and cheap. There was one in Bethesda, Md. that had lines going around the block on weekend mornings.

We are losing the middle class, so eating out is going to cut way back in our new turd world globalist experience.

There is a very big difference between rich creamy feta cheese and roasted Spaniel!
