- I haven't been there in ages, but Miss Flo's in Florence (section of
- Northampton) has the classic diner atmosphere. Don't know if they
- have cheese fries though -- what are they? I have had good swordfish
- steak dinners there. Doubt if it is open 24 hrs.
-
- There's also the BP diner at the junctions of 116 and 91 (South
- Deerfield? Sunderland? I never know) Another classic diner, but
- more of the truck stop variety. Miss Flo's is more small-town.
- I've actually never eaten at the BP, but it really is a truck stop,
- so it might have the level of grease you desire. Don't know about
- hours there either, but aren't truck stops all 24 hours?
