There was a great restaurant not to far from me in West Orange, NJ. It was forced to shut down in 2019 because of the Covid 19 BS.
It never re-opened. The coolest feature about the restaurant was the famous 1909 Pullman dining car that you could eat in. The buildings are being demolished, but luckily the famous train car is going to Pennsylvania to be restored.
Here's a link to the article: Pullman car to be restored The train car was built when Robert Lincoln, son of President Lincoln, was the president of the Pullman company.
