On Monday, March 28th a much anticipated diner opened on Lake Street in Minneapolis. It originally resided in Pennsylvania but was transported to Minnesota, remodelled and refurbished, which took several months for its grand opening.
"1950s by the Fodero Dining Car Co., at a time when diners were pre-fabricated and carried by truck to their roadside locales. It opened in Gibsonia, Pa., as the Venus Diner in 1958, where it served hungry travelers off the Pennsylvania Turnpike for more than half a century. When the original owners could no longer keep up with the pancake flipping and the coffee pouring, it closed in 2009." For more history, go here.
5 days after it opened DH and I went to it to sample the dishes. The diner (check here for its interesting history) recalls an earlier era. Spotless inside it serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with liquor available.
I love those diners, I had diner once in one in the States. We even have one here in a park.
