Crossroads Diner in Grand Gorge, NY
After being drawn in off a mountain highway by this diner sign, we were disappointed to find this chrome gem abandoned—although the interior looks brand-spankin’-new. Through a little Googling and asking around we discovered that this place, called Crossroads, was purchased (and apparently renovated) in 2008, but was never opened! Anyone know the story? Anyone know how we can buy it? (Just kidding… kind of.)

friendscallmetonks asked:All right question: Have you checked out Al's Diner in Dinkytown, Minneapolis?
We haven’t; unfortunately, we haven’t gotten off the east coast much. However… we are planning some really exciting traveling for this upcoming fall and we’ll need everyone’s recommendations! Keep your eyes open for a post very soon with more information.

no-pity-for-the-majority asked:my hope is to own my own diner one day, your blog gives me so much inspiration :3 hopefully one day I will have my very own diner and you guys could visit:)
We would LOVE that! Come open a diner near us in the Catskills so we can capture it for our other project, too: Catskill Made (blog: catskillmade).
Cheers!

chexednut asked:I think Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmern would be the authorities to call on this diner vs. pub issue, haha! I know here in Las Vegas, we have a few "pubs." I cannot atest to their authenticity, however. But definitely! I'm on the bandwagon for an exchange program!
And further thoughts on the UK diner situation from tutticoccinelle:

Happy National Donut Day!

acheshire asked:On the other hand, people in the UK & Ireland have pubs, which isn't really a thing that exists over here on the west side of the Atlantic (except idk, maybe Boston, which is Ireland Lite)! Maybe someone should make a pubporn Tumblr (and call it something that doesn't seem like a dyslexic version of pornhub - pubsmut? I'm not good with names...).
We got a similar answer from chexednut:
"I saw your answered question about diners in the UK. They have pubs! I would love to trade places — she can come to a diner and I can go to a pub!"
Diners vs. pubs seems like it could be a lively debate, but we wish there was a world in which we could experience both… a night at the pub and a diner brunch the next morning (or perhaps a burger at 2am, anyone?).
Can we get a cultural exchange happening, in the meantime? Like an exchange student program but specifically for adults who like beer and breakfast? (We might want to put a copyright on that one…)

killacraftz asked:I love your blog, but it makes me sad in a way - I live in the UK and we just don't really have diners over here. there's a few around but they tend to be gimmicky and often the food isn't great, so your blog helps me to dream of a time when I can go to the USA and enjoy some good ol' fashioned diner eating.
That IS sad. Get yourself to the States—the fries and milkshakes are calling for you!
Thanks for your kind words and for following our adventures!

Hey diner lovers! As you know, we work hard to present you with the best greasy spoons in all their visual splendor.
As we’ve said before, we’re interested in the people that make 24-hour eateries special and we want to capture their lives as they travel through America’s iconic crossroads.
We’re asking you to participate in the documentation of diner life by having breakfast, lunch, or dinner with us at the diner of your choice. We’ll write about it, document the experience, and post it on our blog (we might even publish it in a book!). Drop us your name, location, and contact info in our ask box, or send us an e-mail.
