If you're a diner fan who likes solid information more than pretty pictures this is a book for you. Full of facts and opinions with useful maps this is a requirement for anyone who plans to hit the roads of NY State searching out classic factory-built diners.

This review is from: Diners of New York (Paperback)

The authors obviously spent a great deal of time traversing NY State - which is the "ultimate" for diners - and they've included a great selection. I've visited several of them and it's been fun seeking them out. I really enjoyed reading this book and looking at the photos.
