Zip's

Route 6, Danielson, Conn.
"New England's Most Modern Dining Car"

Opened in 1954 - Still Operating and a 3rd generation family business. Although the original address of the diner was listed as Danielson, it actually resides in Dayville. Dayville is a historical district and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

A short history of the diner can be found on Zip's website.
I love that Bill Griffith who draws Zippy the Pinhead occasionally features this diner in his comics.

Mayflower Cafe

The Mayflower Cafe is Wyoming's Finest Cafe.
Located in the Heart of Cheyenne, 1/2 Block from all Highways.
Famous from Coast to Coast for Quality Foods and Excellent Drinks.
"Visit the Mayflower Deck Lounge"

Opened in 1928, The Mayflower was operated by brothers Sam, George, and Gus Andrews, Greek immigrants who had moved to Wyoming from Nebraska. The cafe expanded in 1947 to include a tavern. Eventually George's son Phil built Mayflower Dance Hall, billed as the largest western dance hall in Wyoming. A fire in 1976 destroyed the buildings on 17th Street and the site is now home to Grand Avenue Pizza.


Another view of the Mayflower Cafe which can be purchased to hang on your wall (I am not affiliated with this site.)
