Diner Talk (500)

Diner Talk serves up a heaping helping of nostalgia in a classic 1950s diner setting! This lively collage is packed with mouthwatering favorites from “two dots and a dash” (that’s bacon and eggs) to a “blue plate special” dragged through Wisconsin (yep, slathered in cheese). You’ll spot diner lingo throughout the scene, from “frogsticks” (that’s French fries) to the Atlanta special (an ice-cold Coca-Cola).

Stacks of golden waffles, fluffy pancakes, and slices of apple and cherry pie make this table a feast for the eyes and there’s even a strawberry shake, or “in the hay,” to wash it all down. Look closely and you’ll spot a few playful Cobble Hill Easter eggs tucked into the ticket, menu, and more.

Pull up a stool, pour yourself a coffee, and piece together the delicious language of diner culture!
