- I cannot recommend any specific diners in your area but I can suggest a
- GOOD source of information. Coffee Cup Publications in Watertown publishes
- a quarterly newsletter called "Roadside" that is all about diners, with a
- focus on those in New England. They also publish "Diner Finder" maps with
- all the known diner locations in a given New England state and notes about
- each diner. They haven't finished the maps for all six states but they do
- have a Massachusetts one; we've got a copy and we take it along whenever we
- go on a day trip somewhere in Mass. It has been very useful. I think they
- have also done New Hampshire and Connecticut Diner Finders so far.
-
- If you are interested, send me email and I will dig up the address for
- Coffee Cup Publications. (It's at home and I am at work...)
