Nominations

This "old-looking" American restaurant and diner is the oldest one in Brooklyn. It has been around for 115 years. [Closed in 2004.]

The gas lighting was preserved there. When you are there you are transported into another era. I have not seen it as an Arby's so I am not sure what has been changed. (February 2010)
