Actually I think it's going to be more like 5:30 or 6AM, but early nonetheless. |

Just had a sandwich at Manny's and was told
that they'd be opening the Village Diner in
South Orange at 6AM. |

Sorry, MHD... I just stopped by for lunch:
*The place looks great, staff all wearing "Village Diner" shirts...
*If you want water, ask for it (conservation!)...
*Terrific menu...
*Plenty of Typical Opening Day Confusion, but the staff seems pretty sharp, and should overcome...
*Manny, Angie, et al very anxious to please...
*No fistfights in the kitchen yet...
*Excellent medium-rare pattie melt, served open over nicely grilled onions...
*Fries could be less bland, and even better-done...
*Good coffee...
*Initial assessment: Tell your friends, and go see for yourself...
-s.

Can you get a good egg cream there? I am in search of a good egg cream around here! |

I don't know about good but Janet (waitress) on the night shift at the Echo Queen diner (Mountainside, I think, on Rt22 East) makes a decent one. |

Second the Syd's rec. They make their egg creams the traditional way, with U-Bet Syrup.

OK, maybe I am totally clueless, but wasn't Syd's in the Millburn Mall?
I had such a jones for an egg cream that I actually went over there today. I didn't see Syd's. |

They've GOT to be there! That's my hot dog connection!
I hope they didn't get taken out in all the rearranging
of stores going on over there!
Now I gotta go out and look! |

With all the rearranging of stores, the hot dogs ended up over at Cold Stone -- watch for new ice cream flavors!

The awning is down over Syd's - so it looks closed but it had an OPEN sign in the window when I drove by on my way to Manny's for my birthday dinner. |

Syds is open at the Millburn Mall. They are at the right end while facing the building. There is construction being done in front of the store. I think that during the rearranging/closing of stores and addition of Staples, they are probably going to be updating the 60s facade. |

Ahhh...OK, so I didn't see the sign and didn't look closely enough. I'll have to go back. The egg cream cannot wait. |
