Diner or No Diner - Long Island Version

I didn't feel like making a new blog, so I'm usurping this blog for a moment to play "Diner or No Diner" the game where we don't know the answer, but look for exper opinions on wether or not these diners are factory built, or just imitation diners. I can tell you that the Dix Hills and the Plainview diners do not have tags. The rest, I did not enter.






First we have the Dix Hills Diner to the left.







Next we have

an un-named diner that is

located in Elmont just East

of the Stop 20 Diner










This is the Turnpike Diner on the
Hempstead Turnpike
















This is Mama Leonora's Restuarant which is just off of the Sunrise Hgy near Exit 53 and Patchogue.












This possible diner is a Chinese Restaurant known as the Golden Chopsticks up in
Rocky Point

It is located right next to the Rocky Point
Townhouse Diner






This is the Plainview Diner. It is located on
Old Country Road.




So, now that you have seen these six diners. Please make your comments on whether you think these are ... "Diner ... or no Diner"

I have one more to add to this game, but my scanner is not working, so it will have to wait for the bonus round. =]

Working backwards:

Plainview Diner is definitely a diner (and a nice Space Age one too.) Never saw this kind of zig-zag roof on an on-site.

Golden Chopsticks, probably a diner. The vestibule with ramp leading to it is the tip-off.

Mama Leonora's, probably not. It does have a ramp, but no vestibule.

Turnpike Diner is a diner. Vestibule with stairs.

Diner in Elmont... ehhhh... does have the vestibule but something about the proportions makes me think on-site.

Dix Hills Diner, don't know. Heavily remodeled, whatever it is. Might be a Space Age or environmental with a stucco job.
