Sorry, Jack, far from the northwest...
Any discussion of the world's great diners HAS to include Mickey's Diner in
downtown St. Paul.
http://nrhp.mnhs.org/property_overview.cfm?propertyID=30
It's on the National Register of Historic Places, and that's just for the hash
browns. It's not on the east coast, Jack, but it does have a New Jersey
tie-in, having been manufactured in New Jersey and shipped by rail to Minnesota.
No place better at 2 a.m.
Scott

The Truckee Diner is within 3,000 miles of Seattle. In Truckee, Calif., off
I-80. We ate there on our last ski visit to Tahoe.
Formerly known as Andy's Truckee Diner, now sometimes as Mike's Truckee
Dinner (just guessing, Andy sold out to Mike?)
Yes, the front part is a real old diner. Added room in back. Basic 'murrican
fare.
Here's a web page:
