only in new jersey

Only in Jersey can you go to a shindig for a diner. OK, the Skylark Diner was more upscale than your typical greasy spoon fare, with a bar, flat panel tee-vees, $20+ entrees, and even wine tasting (!). The Skylark was celebrating its first birthday. They gave away Nets and Devils tickets and and iPod Shuffle. Laura and I won nothing.

Photo props go out to my friend Andy Daddio (image is © 2006 Andrew M. Daddio, All Rights Reserved), who did a wonderful photo series on the closing of a quintessential New Jersey diner some years ago, only to be replaced by a McDonalds. Check out his work.

Today, Leah and I are off to Iceland, so I doubt I'll be posting over the next week. So, for now, bless (which is how they say goodbye there).
