 Herkbert Says:  The Eveready Diner was a great find while driving along Rte 9 in Hyde Park. With a juke box, counter service and great food, this was like stepping into the Twilight Zone. Good food meets Happy Days. :-)The menu has a great many choices to satisfy just about everyone. The...

 moiraistyx Says:  I have to say, that I've been here a handful of times and each time the experience has been very different. It really depends on what you order and when you order it. Sometimes the food is absolutely outstanding and other times it isn't worth the gum stuck under the table... 

 moiraistyx Says:  The good thing about this place is that they are quick and only about a block away. I mostly get the sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and a cup of sweet and sour soup. Once I tried their boneless spare ribs but they were really gross. The woman who works the counter...

 cjg1 Says:  We knew we were getting close to the Diner when we saw the neon glow of the sign. We pulled into the parking lot and saw the glow of the diner. The diner looks like a 1950’s retro diner. We walked inside and were surprised at the large interior. There were three sections of...

 noahsdad Says:  See these three very different homes. The Vanderbilt mansion, one of the smaller Vanderbilt properties at only 54 rooms, and the only one maintained by the National Park Service, has to be seen to be believed. Each room belongs to a different period: the Spanish Renaissance,...
