Dec 31 2016 - New Years Eve Day at South Street Diner Boston

New Years Eve day 2017 and the diner queens and I make plans to head into First Night activities in Boston.   If we are going in there, it only makes sense to stop at one of the Worcester diner cars in Boston for a late breakfast.  Arrived at the South Street Diner around ten am and still had to wait to get in.  The wait was worth it,  good breakfast, good atmosphere and being the holidays it was celebratory day.

History First

South Street Diner (formerly the Blue Diner) was built in 1947 by the Worcester Dining Company to serve local factory workers. Over the years, the Diner has become a local landmark, a constant in Boston's after-hours scene and a final evening destination for local residents, students and visitors. When the clubs close, the Diner is the place to grab something to eat, hang out with friends, celebrity watch, and keep the party going. No visit to Boston is complete without a stop to the South Street Diner.

Over the years, the Diner has been named a Best of Boston by Boston Magazine and called "The PLACE for college students to start their Spring Break Tour" by Rolling Stone Magazine. The Diner has also been featured in numerous feature films, including: Hiding Out with John Cryer; Second Sight with John Laroquette; House Guest with Steve Martin; and The Blue Diner for PBS.

Our Experience
It was New Years Eve day so we opted for their special drinks of the day to go with our breakfast coffee.

Mo and I enjoyed there Bloody Mary and Jill the Mimosa - they were all very good and the bloody mary definitely had a kick to it.  Both from a spice and alcohol standpoint.  Very very good.

I had an Omelet with olives, mushrooms, spinach and jalapeno,  toast and home fries.  Mo had their breakfast burrito and Jill the Lobster Omelet special.   All of them were very good and we barely were able to finish them.   The portions were more the adequate.  Good food at a decent price.

The place was hoppin, but the wait staff was great and they had a great I don't I give a shit Boston attitude.   Order what you want, I will tell you what I can do for you and based on our experience it most likely will be pretty good.   Blue Collar, tourist, and local destination for a non discriminating clientele.  Diner food and service as it is suppose to be and yes you could tell it was definitely a Worcester Diner car, aged well, improved in some areas but still a diner car.

  

We will go again and it is on our recommended list.
