Thanks so much for sharing them. I'm sorry to see you obviously spent time in Hell's Kitchen, yet you missed my fave: the unassuming, yet sorely missed Kraft Restaurant on W 42nd.

Loved that diner. Hope Greg Alessandrini gets hi pictures back.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006658049659177434.post-13658289050828954572014-01-03T15:07:36.446+01:002014-01-03T15:07:36.446+01:00Thank you for this information !

A family bought it, hauled it out there and put it back together with an expansion in the back that contained a modern kitchen. Sadly they couldn't make it work and it closed in 2012. Still closed as far as I know. Here's a gallery of its brief history in Wyoming up until its closing. <br />http://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/gallery-moondance-diner/collection_dd67d78a-e175-11e1-b709-0019bb2963f4.html#0Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006658049659177434.post-46515204863492026222013-11-13T17:48:05.016+01:002013-11-13T17:48:05.016+01:00tunnel diner......1981 Larry Panish bought it.
