A Preview of the Montague Diner

As we noted in our post about the BHA Annual Meeting, the Montague Diner, which will occupy the space at 148 Montague Street formerly home to the Happy Days Diner, is slated to open this coming Friday, March 15. Grub Street gives us a preview of the new interior (see photo by following the link; note, it’s only “free for a limited time”), which its owners, some show people and some restaurant pros, intend to have “the look and feel of Great Depression era coffee shops and restaurants.” The article also gives a glimpse of the projected menu. Breakfast will be diner staples like “pancakes and eggs”; the dinner menu will depart from typical dinerdom with offerings like “olives, roasted chicken, steak frites.” Initially the owners (perhaps carrying out the “Depression era” theme) didn’t think a TV would be appropriate, but they are reconsidering after the father of one of them insisted there had to be a TV so he could watch Giants games.

    It looks great, and I’m excited for another restaurant in the neighborhood, but please no TV! Dad can watch his Giants game after dinner or cross the street and watch at Grand Canyon or Custom House. Or down the street at Mad For Chicken.

    I recently ate at a restaurant in Boston, and asked for a table where I couldn’t see a TV.

    TVs are for doctor’s waiting rooms, the passenger lounge at airports, and your own living room. Not for restaurants!

    Can we add: Please, no rock music piped into waiting and boarding areas of JFK? Hard enough to hear flight announcements. Not quite the topic here but certainly related.

    I’m with you as to “looks great” – on multiple levels. Any guesses/predictions as to whether it’ll be VERY loud. Everyone loves their OWN kids, but there’ve been the occasional comments here about kids at Inga’s (Nutsy, right?)…. Be interesting to see what demographics predominate.

    Really enjoyed our dinner tonight at The Montague Diner — very excited to go there again soon. Welcome to the neighborhood!
