It's 1:00 in New Jersey…

A.M.?  P.M.?

Actually, it doesn't matter. Want a cheeseburger at 5:30 in the morning? Waffles for lunch?  A Taylor ham, egg and cheese sandwich for dinner? Well then, you're in the right place.

I've heard that outside Jersey the diners don't stay open all night. I've heard that in other regions of the country you must order breakfast at breakfast time, lunch around noon, and dinner in the evening.  I don't quite understand those restrictions, as I've lived my life in a state where all items listed in extensive menu are available at any hour of the day or night. I've read that the Garden State boasts more diners than anywhere else in the nation, many of them gleaming vintage stainless-steel classics with glass blocks, porcelain enamel and neon signs.

Soup of the day, daily specials, and all the while pastries rotate enticingly in a display case by the counter. The food is great and the price is right. It's just one more thing I love about New Jersey.
