I was just reviewing some of the NY blogs that Rach just posted and I about dropped my coffee when I read via Vanishing New York that my FAVORITE diner in the city- Cheyenne Diner on 33th and 9th is closing. WHAT. THE. HELL!? I’m so sad I could cry.

Everytime I walked into Cheyenne, whether I was meeting friends or going solo to write, I got that THIS is New York feeling. It’s not like the greasy food is particularily amazing, although it IS pretty good, but to me this little tin diner exudes classic NY charm with its signed photos of local celebrities and sports heroes proudly displayed near the cash register and its red leather booths filled with locals, police officers or cab drivers on break. Sometimes people were there to catch a game, or write, or just simply indulge in a piece of fantastic apple pie. It’s kinda nice to have a place like that you can go to. It was my joint. Now, it only has one week left. I’m so bummed…
