I know where there is a fairly new stainless steel diner in Middleboro MA. You exit rte 495 at rte 44, head east on Rte 44 for about 1/4 mile, enter the rotary, take second right (Rte 28S) and follow that for just over a mile and you will see "Dave's Diner" on the right. They are usually busy there so the food must be good. Unfortunately, that is no where near Newport.

When I use to work in the Worcester area, there were numerous diners. I don't know how many still exist. There was Uncle Will's Diner, Rte 20 Shrewsbury, which eventually was sold and moved to Montreal and reopened as the Galaxy Diner, so I was told. Chet's Diner is still on Rte 20 in Northboro because I saw it on Fox TV last week. Then there was the Shrewsbury Diner and the Edgemere Diner, but they may be gone now.

Fox TV-25 which broadcast locally in New England, has a special on Tuesdays. It's called Diner Tuesdays and there reporter "VB" broadcasts from a different diner each Tuesday. He travels all over New England doing this. It's actually quite entertaining.

Then we musn't forget the "Modern Diner" just off of Rte 95 near the Pawtucket S-curves. This old diner has been around since they invented sliced bread. It has quite a futuristic look to it. I've eaten breakfast there a couple of times and the food was good. I didn't Google it but I bet it's in there.

Now for the clincher. My friend who owns the dealership I bought my XFire from has just purchased an old diner that used to be located near Salisbury Beach on the North Shore of Massachusetts. He is moving it down to his dealership on Rte 16 in Mendon MA. I don't know if he plans to open it and serve food or just use it for display. This particular diner has the porcelain panels on it. Knowing Kevin, breakfast will be available.
