Aside from having a whole eggs benedict section, the first one looks pretty standard.
The second one... Wow. 1? biscuit and gravy with eggs for $10?? Country fried steak with chipped beef? What exactly are these people smoking? Plus another eggs benedict section.
Nicely pictured. Not sure what's "hipster" about mini frying pans though. I'd guess I've seen them in roadside breakfast places (diners included) for more than a bit more than a decade, including the Howard Johnsonish Bob Evans chain throughout the Midwest.
...and don't miss the Roscoe diner, not far from Phoenicia, a trip down memory lane. As a transplanted Brit the thing I LOVE about diners is that you can get breakfast 24 hours a day!
The American diner experience can be a pleasurable and inexpensive dining experience. You can find them wherever you may be in the US. I most often go for breakfast, but most offer lunch and dinner as well. While visiting family not long ago, I went to a couple when everyone was at work or in school. Menues below:
Oh gerd.. I bet it was really nice once but they managed to ruin it. I'm sure they all mean well and the locally sourced ingredients are great.. But THAT is not a diner.. That is not what a yankee breakfast is supposed to look like.. It shouldn't look like it was assembled by Anton Mosimann. We don't want pretty breakfasts! I'll head for the finger lakes... thanks...

Thanks for the menus, they look great.
Have the Meghan vegetarian omelette at the Penn Yan Diner, Penn Yan, NY. In the town but it's a converted railway car.
Hell of an omelette

Indeed it is and for fantastic pizza try Brio's in the town.
The links below the article, in the same series, are about Georgia (the country), Spain, Laos, and Tokyo.
You need to keep up, they are trying to expand their readership.
Isn't it kind of niche to review a diner in upstate New York in a UK paper? Sounds blimmin marvellous though !
I've been there many times and you couldn't be more wrong. 100% diner and always terrific.
