1980 – Massachusetts & Rhode Island: All Night All-Night Diner Tour

Past EventsBy Jeremy EbersoleAugust 21, 1980Leave a comment

The SCA’s first true tour took place in 1980 and took in one of America’s great early diner meccas.  This late night feeding frenzy encapsulated a dozen diners in one glorious night. Relive the fun with the complete tour guide here!

Tour Guide: All Night All-Night Diner Tour (MA & RI)

This late night tour highlighted one of the last remaining enclaves of traditional diner popularity. Eateries seen represent some of the last and purest remaining diner imagery as it was around the time of WWII, before all kinds of new and compromising stylistic modifications took hold.
