Folks of Greek descent have some wonderful diners. They treat their customers like family and the food is usually great.

In “Blue Highways” by William Least Heat Moon, he posits the rating of a diner can be inferred from the number of calendars on the wall.

I wonder how many calenders she has on the walls?

I’ve been here too long, i know two of the people named in this article.

On top of that, I’ve seen in the last few years a distinct drop in the number of Greek immigrants, several of the Greek and Greco-American owned diners in North Jersey have closed as the baby boomer owners retire and they had no one to sell the diner to in the Greek community and also having a hard time finding help. Though the second problem will correct itself in the coming recession.

As a former New Jersey resident now in Florida, I miss Diners.

cleans her house in Stony Point, Rockland County, N.Y.,

Next town north or me!

My family was in Rockland before the rocks!

Cool. But a long trip from Rockland to Clifton!

I grew up in Hasbrouck Heights back in the Fifties,escaping from NJ when I joined the Navy in '58.

Having said that,I must admit that I miss NJ diners and that I spent a lot of time at the Bendix diner and many others like the Silver Dollar and the Moonachie diner.Real good gut-busting food at any hour of the day or night.
