After doing my last Blog about
the “Lost” Franklin Square Diner, I was quite excited about making some trips
to visit some more classic diners.
Unfortunately it seems that so many of my plans, or call them mini
bucket lists never seem to happen. Since
that first momentous diner discovery a few weeks ago the closest I’ve come has
been multiple visits to the Liberty Diner here in Southington.
Liberty
is diner by name only, no chrome, no train car appearance, no grill area to watch food being prepared and not even a nine
page menu to confuse the hell out of you (their’s is only about 5 pages).
Can’t say that it doesn’t have other diner attributes, simple meals,
good quantity, tasty, inexpensive and served by some very nice staff….been
going there for years and have yet to be disappointed.
My plans to visit some of the
classics is still on an active to-do list and in the next few days there’s a
good chance I’ll be able to resume the quest.
We’re going to a family reunion (Marge’s) in Pennsylvania, Pottsville
area in particular. Pennsylvania is home to many, many diners
that fall into a classic category.
Hopefully I’ll be able visit a couple and bring you back some interesting reports.
There might even be chance to visit the
country’s oldest brewery and sample
my favorite beer brewed by D.G. Yuengling
& Son that has managed to produce quality beer in Pottsville since 1829. They should know how to do it by this time.
