Talk:Luncheonette

In the United States a Luncheonette in addition to the lunch counter with bar height stools usually had some tables, chairs and/or booths with bench seats. As well as cold sandwiches, luncheonettes usually had a fare of hot sandwiches i.e. hamburgers, hot dogs, open face roast beef and turkey sandwiches. Many luncheonettes were open early in the morning and served full brakfasts, "coffee ann", shortened from from coffee and toast, donuts or pastries. Many of the luncheonettes served ice cream cones, sundaes, sodas, milkshakes and malted milks (malteds). Most sold cigarettes, newspapers and some magazines. It was the similar fare to the diners and the predecessor to the coffee shops and fast food service establishments of the present day..... don't forget to pick up a couple of candy bars when you pay your check going out the door.
