The Market Diner, New York
One place that will have been very familiar to the “Cunard Yanks” on any visit to New York was a favourite meeting-point - The Market Diner. Sited almost opposite Pier 90, there was good food and beer available at reasonable prices.
Being open 24 hours a day, and remember this was the 1950s and ’60s (!), The Market Diner was the place where most excursions into the city began, and often ended too. In the UK, the only places open to the public for that length of time were probably the hospitals and police stations!
