Diner Decor and Northport LI

By Elizabethwix

Northport Sweetshop
The same ice cream server for the past forty years and exactly the same floor and stools. I had maple walnut.



The decor in Tim's Shipwreck Diner tends to the nautical --and the staff have T-shirts that say 'Crew'.

It's an authentic old dining car --note the curved roof.

A good place to do coloring while waiting for your lunch

and the DUMDUM pop that will follow it

that is, if you can finish your lunch which arrives in delicious but daunting proportions.

The outside of Gunther's where Kerouac once drank

and others still do.

Northport's a bit of a tourist trap with lots of charm and probably too many gift shops

but the hardware store's still there where we went to buy steel wool, which was (naturally) made in China. I think the animals were American once.

They preside over collections of stuff.

The best is the elusive South Dakota Snow-Hare -- only seen by those who have had a sufficient amount to drink.
