My spots were the Schuyler Diner and The Colonial on Orient Way by 17.
Oh man, Colonial Diner for coffee before making first deliveries, Schuyler Diner for lunch when delivering in that area, Telstar Diner when in that area, Lotito's Deli in Ramsey when in that area, Food Court at Paramus Park when in that area, just to name a few. Great to be living and working in the diner capital of the world!
We had a place in The south east side of L.A, Frank's, where all the drivers would go. All the dispatchers for every company had the phone number & would call looking for their drivers. If one didn't want to be found we would just let Frank know when we walked in & his response would be "haven't seen him" to your dispatcher if he/she called. Nobody answered the phone at Frank's but Frank.Oh man, Colonial Diner for coffee before making first deliveries, Schuyler Diner for lunch when delivering in that area, Telstar Diner when in that area, Lotito's Deli in Ramsey when in that area, Food Court at Paramus Park when in that area, just to name a few.

use to be a "hut" in front of Port Jersey warehouse in Bayonne that made great ham and egg on a bulkie roll sandwiches
Lotito's Deli was the best. Can't get food like that down here in the mountain rangers of Florida.Oh man, Colonial Diner for coffee before making first deliveries, Schuyler Diner for lunch when delivering in that area, Telstar Diner when in that area, Lotito's Deli in Ramsey when in that area, Food Court at Paramus Park when in that area, just to name a few.

AW.
I would buy those in a big paper bag for several days. You could not count on having food right then so you loaded em up.

There was a tiny counter stop at a little hilltop called summit below Williamsport.
I'll have to search it carefully. It was very easy to miss back then and probably out of business by now.
The girls were easy on the eyes and they fed you and kept feeding you until you had enough. Might have cost you 15 and 5 in tip. But they fed you.
Floridians look at you cross eyed when you ask them where a good diner is. I have seen one diner in Tampa which originally was a fast food joint and it is owned by a Greek family from New York.Oh man, Colonial Diner for coffee before making first deliveries, Schuyler Diner for lunch when delivering in that area, Telstar Diner when in that area, Lotito's Deli in Ramsey when in that area, Food Court at Paramus Park when in that area, just to name a few.

Roady, you moved to Florida to late to enjoy Wolfie Cohen's Rascal House. When I stayed at the Castaways in 1968 it was the go to place for great deli food. Stopped there when heading to Marathon on cycles after Daytona for a number of years. Sadly they're gone, same as the Castaways and most all of the other motels on "Motel Row". Things don't always change for the better.
