GOOD-BY NEWARK, NEW YORK DINER


On May 9, 2013 the Newark Diner was loaded on the truck and towed to Ohio where it will be restored and then taken to Buffalo, New York where it will be a restaurant again.  There was no public announcement made of when the diner would be moved, so I wasn't there to take pictures.  I thank the Wayne Post for the second thru sixth pictures on this post.  Of course I took the top picture, and I also took the last two.

If someone had told me that the Newark Diner or the Scofield's Diner as some of us folks call it was going to be gone when I took my pictures in December or when I put the post on in February of this year, I wouldn't have believed them.  Three months later, it is gone.

Wayne Post ran an article on the Diner and my comments along with others were in the article.  The Diner will be sadly missed by a lot of us.

When it opens again in Buffalo, I hope to drive there and eat in the Diner again.  I hope that I will be allowed to take pictures of it again.

    That would be really neat to go to Buffalo and eat in it again wouldn't it? Great post Marilyn.

    Always sad to see the landmarks go. Thankfully this one will be restored and not destroyed. It is amazing how quickly some things can change. Have a great weekend!

    Hi Annie,
    It is amazing how fast things can change. I agree, it is better that it is being restored than destroyed. Hope you have a great weekend, too,

    It will be interesting to see how it looks restored. Maybe we can meet up and have lunch together in Buffalo when it's done.

    That sounds great to me. I would enjoy meeting you and eating at the diner.

    Good Morning,
    I just got back a little while ago. Was going to a farm animal auction, but when I get there it said no cell phones-which I could shut mine off and no photographs or pictures,so that shot what I went there for. I did drive around a little and got pictures for another post, but that's it. Hope I can get around next week, if the weather is good and get more pictures. May try a different area where Amish and Mennonite live.
