"The Dining Car has been around since the first man went to space in 1961. And if you come at night when its chrome exterior becomes neon-lit, you’ll feel out of time. But there are some things that draw you back to the present when you walk in, like a book trolley in the dining room with Outlander on it. Like most diners, this Holmesburg classic serves heavy “am I seeing double?” portions. You can order a three-egg Spanish omelet or signature apple walnut stuffed french toast (our favorite) and have enough leftovers for lunch, or dinner when you wrap up the rest of Outlander on a Kindle at home." - Candis R.
