Diners in Florida are a wonderful way to enjoy some comfort foods and experience nostalgia in one meal. Some diners - like Americana 50's Family Diner - are family-owned and operated.

Grabbing a donut, muffin, bagel, or coffee on your way to or from work can be a nice way to give yourself a sweet treat or pick me up without spending much money.

I frequently write about restaurant closures, and I can honestly say that I have never seen a violation like the one that caused the closure.
