A new diner in Dumont is looking to carry on the legacy of an establishment that served New Jersey residents for over 100 years. Dumont Brothers Diner had its grand opening ceremony on Nov. 9, welcoming hundreds of people, from regulars to the borough's mayor and council members. Many may remember that location as Dumont Crystal Diner, the oldest diner in Bergen County, which had served customers since 1925. Brothers Gus and John Grimanis bought the building at 45 W.
