My favorite part about the diner is that you can consistently expect a hot milkshake and a bowl of cold soup. It feels a little Alice in Wonderland-ish.

Feanor: Stick to the Midtown. It sucks, but in the expected, edible way.

Despite everything you've said, I now find myself really craving some diner food.

Oh, that's right. We got the cocoa, but nothing else. And the cocoa took about half an hour to arrive, and we had to ask for it twice. Memory plays funny tricks.

Actually, if you remember, hot cocoa was the one thing we DID get... well, that and the food from 3 other tables, without getting our own order even taken. So we threw down 50 cents for the cocoa and blew that popsicle stand. Didn't we go to Koch's instead? Man, I hate Philly Diner.
