not entirely a dive but it is a diner!! the website says it has been “voted central jersey’s best diner since 1997”
i had to go with a diner i grew up going to because that is the epitome of jersey culture. open 24 hours of course!! & as a kid i really loved their chocolate chip pancakes and these little coin machines by the entrance that had little figurines or temporary tattoos
i chose a non-artsy photo stolen from flickr to really help everyone not lucky enough to be from new jersey imagine the experience of driving off the highway on a gray day to stop at a diner

being home in massachusetts im surrounded by these joints. the food is always average, but that's not the point. it's about the consistency, the booths, the drip coffee, the plastic cups and ceramic mugs, the vinyl tables, the yellow paper receipt, and yes, the passable food. never had a bad conversation or experience with a loved one at a greasy spoon. also a great place to eat alone and read a newspaper like a little old chap. what you order at a diner says a lot about you

I grew up going to this one a lot with family and friends so it has a special place in my heart (This pic is from Google maps because I cant find any pics of it in my phone)

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
