“Diners are an east coast staple and The Highland Park Diner a staple for Rochester. Their website states. “Highland Park Diner is a famous diner on the corner of Clinton and Goodman. The American Diner Cookbook and other books feature the Highland Park Diner. It is a 1940’s stainless steal long narrow train car like diner. It was manufactured by the Orleans Diner company of Albion, NY in the late 1940's. It would have been pre-built in their factory and moved to the site via rail car and truck, which is why diners of this type are always long and narrow. This diner may be the only surviving diner from this manufacturer (they only made 2 or 3 units total).”
