Spud Mountain or Bust: A Jersey Diner Diary<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
My dad sent me this story about diners in New Jersey. There are over 600 of them, making Jersey the diner capital of the U.S. He also adds commentary:<\/p>\n

The Mastoris Diner (mentioned in the article) in Bordentown was owned by the family of a schoolmate at Peddie.<\/p>\n

My favorite Jersey diners were Weequaic in Newark (I believe the original diner), Swingles in Hillside on RT 22., and OLGA’s at the Marlton Circle.<\/p>\n

Swingles by the way designed and constructed diners.<\/p>\n

The Amphora in Vienna, Va. is very close to a Jersey Diner and I understand that the Manhattan Diner in Fairfax is very good. We will have to try it.<\/p>\n

(By the way, my mouth is actually watering for a piece of coconut cream pie from the Weequaic diner.)<\/p>\n

In Jersey, if you wanted a good filling meal at a decent price, you headed for the diner. Back in the day, I did a lot of hitchhiking and diners were a great resource! There goes the watery mouth thing again when I thought of the world’s freshest eggs at Swingles. They were brought in from a farm every morning.
Hell, they may have still been warm from the chicken!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I do not have a specific favorite, but I’ve eaten in diners all over Jersey. I remember there was a great Absolute ad with a stainless steel diner shaped like a bottle that said “ABSOLUTE JERSEY<\/span><\/a>.”<\/p>\n
