While traversing the net for interesting dirt on my family name, I came across this place - Schnackenberg's Luncheonette in Hoboken, New Jersey. It looks like exactly the kind of classic American diner that I love. All the reviews are great, but some recent postings say that the food is great, and great value. The decor is vintage and a scene from The Basketball Diaries was filmed there. Apparently it is run by the daughter of the immigrants who opened the place in 1931. I was sad to read recent posts on a local site which said it's rarely open these days, as apparently the sister of the owner is ill. Maybe I need to move back to New Jersey and take the place on. It's not that crazy of an idea, you know.
