The History of NYC Diners - Eater NY

"Records show that a diner existed at this lot in Chelsea as early as 1929, replaced by the present structure built by the Fodero Dining Car Company in 1943. Renovated by Carl Laanes in 1976, it became a prominent gathering place for NYC's gay community in the '70s and '80s. Now settled into an upscale diner groove." - Robert Sietsema
