The Munson Diner, one of the first streamlined, stainless steel diners, was located at the corner of 49th and 11th Avenue in New York City in 1940s. Over half a century ago, the New York Times wrote it was where “all classes of New Yorkers gathered on equal terms, especially as the nightclubs met the night shift…”  In more modern times, the Munson was featured in the Seinfeld TV series and in television commercials. In 2005, the diner was moved to Liberty, in the heart of Sullivan County and known as a “Northeast capital of diners.”

If you remember my East Branch Postcards from 2007, you'll remember that I was basically kicking myself for not getting a picture of an old bus out in the field at the site of the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival. So, this time I asked if we could possibly cruise by so I could get a quick shot of the bus. Well, not only did we cruise by ...
