Albany, New York is home to the Gateway Diner. Stop by and check out the classic diner marquee out front. The state of Pennsylvania is swell for roadside items of interest, including motels, drive-ins, and of course diners!

Hungry for a burger or shake while in Pennsylvania? A great place to stop is the Blue Comet Diner. The marquee outside sports great colors and a swooping comet.

Off the Pennsylvania turnpike is a true gem of a diner. The Venus Diner was established in 1959 and is impeccably maintained. So next time you're traveling on the turnpike, take a detour off on Exit 4 and save your appetite for some true country cooking.

 

UPDATE 07/07 : The Venus Diner is closed. Tried to make a visit on June 6, 2007. What a disappointment. Many thanks to Liz Eustace for update. 07-07

UPDATE 01/13 : According to this website, the Venus Diner was moved to Cleveland, OH where a restorer is trying to find a buyer. 01-13

Tom's Diner on Route 10 in Ledgewood has actually closed. Hopefully someone will purchase it and re-open. What a shame it would be to see this roadside diner treasure disappear.
