It's sad, but there are some folks who live in parts of the country that not only do not have any diners, but somehow missed out on the Golden Age of the Diner, the '40s through the '60s. Diners have been a part of smalltown, big town and even urban America for some time. They're compatible with everything from Normal Rockwell through Billy Joel. Young folks gather there to scarf down fries and talk up romances. Older folks gather there to talk politics, family, and hometown doings.

If you've ever been a diner devotee, you know that walking into one just feels good. You push open the swinging glass door for you and your friends. You pause at the cashier stand, by the bowl of pillow mints while you wait for the hostess to grab some leatherette menus and escort you to your booth. On the way you glimpse cakes, napoleons, and eclairs sweeping in neverending circles in the pastry carousel. As you walk you hear the friendly clank of heavy diner coffee cups against heavy diner saucers. The tinny ring of lightweight diner silverware jangles as waitstaff sets up for the next round of customers with paper placemats and napkins. Finally, you and your clan are delivered to your formica-topped table. The puffy, shiny, red vinyl seats beckon. With a hop and a slide you snuggle into the far end of the booth, flip open your menu, and peruse the 127+ gustatory pleasures...

You don't have to leave that experience down on Route 22. Now you can outfit your home with all the accoutrements you need for a private diner experience. Up until recently, the hard part would have been the booth itself. But thanks to online purveyors, getting a booth -- straight, corner, or U-shaped -- is almost as easy as getting your eggs scrambled, with dry whole wheat and hash browns on the side. Available in classic, diner colors and a choice of upholstery designs, you can turn your blah breakfast nook into a nifty noshin' spot.

Table are available, too. No sense in settin' down without a place for a cuppa joe. Pick your pattern, pick your finish. After that's done, finish it off with a napkin dispenser, some vintage food signs and a classic diner clock.
