I found a list of the top ten diners in America to use for a class about English speaking countries and their cultures. Here's one that I can reminisce about getting breakfast at:
O'Rourke's
728 Main Street, Middletown, Connecticut
860-346-6101
At the far end of Middletown's Main Street, O'Rourke's is a 1946 silver-sided treasure with counter stools and worn-smooth marble counter. Although it's old and a bit rickety-looking, it is a head-turner of gleaming stainless steel, as well as a fantastic place to eat. The menu includes mid-Connecticut's unique steamed cheeseburgers, southwestern dishes made with chili that chef Brian O'Rourke imports from New Mexico, and local shad roe in the spring, when he barters meals to get the best of local fishermen's catch. Waffles, pancakes, and French toast (made from freshly baked bread) make Sunday brunch especially good, but expect to wait for a seat.

Hate to tell you, but O'Rourke's suffered some catastrosphe, and they are closed while they try to raise funds for repairs.
can i donate somehow? man, their eggs benedict was so fantastic...
yeah, the best. eggs florentine.
they had a big fire, and no fire insurance. It's not clear to me how you could operate a restaurant and not have fire insurance. It seems like with all the stoves and cooking you would need to be insured against a fire. i think if you really want to donate you can google it and find a website to donate
trash, can you google it for me? and donate ten bucks in my name? i'll pay you back.
