Salem Diner

70 Loring Ave., Salem, MA - (978) 741-7918
If you are an aficionado of the classic American roadside diner, put this blue-plate beauty on your must-visit list. Built to look as futuristic as a streamliner locomotive or airplane, it opened in 1941 and has never been remodeled. Breakfast can be close to instantaneous. We like the Spanish omelet, a neat, peppery egg package, with toast and potatoes. At dinner, you can eat such hash-house archetypes as meat loaf or liver and onions, lamb shank, roast pork, or stuffed peppers

Even the insides of the Salem Diner are streamlined. Note the curving roof.
