Join us in our second-floor museum space as author Michael Gabriele presents a historical tour through New Jersey Diners! New Jersey proudly holds the title of “Diner Capital of the World,” and these eateries brighten the state’s highways, byways and main streets, with neon lights, glistening stainless steel, sparkling terrazzo floors and tasty comfort food. But the social and cultural role diners have played in the Garden State for more than 130 years is more than just eggs over easy, coffee, hamburgers, disco fries and pancakes. Diners are the ultimate gathering places, attracting a diverse mix of truck drivers, corporate executives, politicians, college students, police officers, tourists and midnight ramblers. They store fond memories of generations of patrons. “A diner is more than just a place to eat, and food is only half the meal.”
Please note that this program will be held upstairs in the Kearny Museum. An elevator is available for those in need…
Location: Second Floor Kearny Public Library 318 Kearny Ave.
