Year: 1956

Maybe the saddest diner in all of New York is this one. Situated in Manhattan, New York, the Lost Diner is situated off the West Side Highway. It may seem unbelievable, but the Kullman automobile was once a well-known eatery.

The diner at 357 West Street first opened its doors in 1956. Over the years, its patronage gradually decreased until its owners decided to close it in 2006. Food stacks, broken windows, striped walls, and a caved-in roof are all that are left now. Although we are sure local businesses have complained about the sight, no one has fixed the rubble yet.
