A bit of a surprise find as it's so close to home. I'm amazed when I find a sign so close to home that I just never saw before.
Anyway, JB's Deli has a big googie arrow and neon "spot" on the sign for his deli & luncheonette. I've tried passing several times after dark, but the sign isn't on, nor is the place open. Perhaps in the morning.

Located across from the NJ Transit Mountain View Station (Boonton Line), this diner/luncheonette (closed 2018) was used in a scene in the Castle Rock Entertainment film 'City Hall' (1995) with John Cusack and Bridget Fonda.
= = Second title suggested by a comment by Trish Mayo. Thanks, Trish!
A few weeks ago, I was taking a "walkabout" in my neighborhood and came upon this scene. A store--more of a luncheonette, really--with seven pineapples along the counter (many more pineapples than stools!); the lights were blazing, but there was no one in sight. Perhaps it's a store for phantoms--but phantoms wouldn't need the light on!

Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring decided we were going to go to a little luncheonette a few miles from us named “The Greek Spot” for lunch.
Aggie Ring likes it because the Greek food there is very reasonably priced and they serve good sized portions. You never leave there hungry.
The Aggie Ring typically gets some sort of beef/lamb/chicken order. Sometimes a gyro or gyro plate or, more often, a Greek salad with gyro or chicken meat on top.
However, during this visit, Aggie Ring noticed the sign that said they had octopus (Greek: ὀκτώπους [octopodes]). It was very reasonably priced and even came on a simple Greek salad with feta cheese and tomato. Now, Aggie Ring typically only finds octopus smoked and in oil in little cans like smoke oysters or clams. Fresh octopus always a treat.
Aggie Ring has always enjoyed eating octopus ever since he was an Army Aggie Ring stationed in Istanbul many, many years ago. He assumes that the reason anyone won’t try octopus is because they’re racist against the Mediterranean peoples and have no souls or just plain ignorant.
We watched the old Greek man grill the octopus over the fire behind the counter. It’s boiled first and the grill finishes it off. He called Aggie Ring over when our order was ready.
“Describe the octopus for my many fans.” Aggie Ring told me. Well, the smell of it was amazing and it was so tender you just almost could have cut it with a fork. There was nothing rubber like or chewy about this delicious octopod!
Aggie Ring quickly consumed his very ample order alternating between the sweet octopus and the Greek salad. He said that this was even better than scallops.
The portion was so large that Aggie Ring didn’t even have room for a Greek dessert.
As we were leaving, Aggie Ring told me, “Well, I guess we’ll be coming back here more often now.”

This restaurant is located near the Scandal corner in the Mall road of Shimla,H.P. This is a popular place which offers Indian and continental delicacies..Shimla is the one of the oldest and very beautiful hill station of India.
While people loved the food ,I loved the idea of experimenting and playing with light during these night shots.I was at Shimla during an extended weekend and was surprised by the heat there ..Next day ,I read in newspapers that at 31.8 degee Celcius ,It was the hottest day of the decade.

The KiMo Theatre opened in 1927, fulfilling Albuquerque merchants Oreste and Maria Bachechi's dream of providing an opulent movie palace based on southwestern design themes. The Pueblo Deco showcase was designed by Carl Boller of Boller Brothers, a Kansas City architectural firm active in movie-house design throughout the west during Hollywood's early days of popularity.
Isleta pueblo Governor Pablo Abeita won $500 for suggesting the name, which means "king of its kind." Construction cost $150,000, with an additional $18,000 to provide a Wurlitzer organ to accompany the silent movies. Construction was completed in less than a year. A luncheonette and a gift shop were located in spaces adjacent to the theatre entry. After Oreste Bachechi died, his sons took over theatre, combining vaudeville and out-of-town road shows with movies.
The KiMo borrowed motifs from many of the pueblos surrounding Albuquerque, as well as from Navajo imagery and western folklore. Ceiling beams, light fixtures, handrails and other building elements were decorated to reflect the popular attractions of New Mexico's native peoples and natural wonders. Well-known local artist Carl von Hassler created murals for the lobby area, depicting the mythical Seven Cities of Cibola.
The KiMo was purchased by the City of Albuquerque in 1977 for use as a community arts center. Following plans by architects Harvey Hoshour and Dan Pearson, the theatre's exotic details have been carefully restored and updated to serve a new generation of New Mexicans. As a Landmark, even the shape and proportion of the marquee as well as the colors used in the 1982 renovation must be preserved.

Fading porcelain sign for Armel French Ice Cream, at a long closed luncheonette.
This side faces south, and has been bleached out by the sun.
I've never heard of this brand, but I do find references to an Armel Ice Cream company here in NJ. Could be a local brand.

Miracles of miracles! For some reason I woke up at 4:00 a.m. this morning (I don’t know how I got back on Army Time!) and decided to go out on the Jersey Shore for breakfast at 5:00. I seldom, if ever eat breakfast other than a piece of fruit or some yoghurt.
The quickest place was this little luncheonette near where I live that I’ve probably passed by a hundred times in the 15 years I’ve been stationed/lived on the Jersey Shore but have never visited. When I went in, I was amazed! It reminded me of some of the places I used to go when I was stationed in Georgia or Alabama. Except, of course, I could understand the English spoken by the people in New Jersey unlike many of the people I met in the Old South.
They had sausage gravy and biscuits on the menu which caught my eye. You almost never see that in Jersey! The had almost 20 different types of omelets including a “Nutella Omelet” which had Nutella, banana & blueberries tucked inside. Also interesting were the chicken fried steak omelet, omelet stuffed inside a pancake, fish omelet, sausage gravy omelet, broccoli garlic omelet, and grilled chicken omelet. There omelets were light and fluffy, unlike the flat, scorched ones which seemed to be the standard for Georgia!
Add to that selection 8 different types of Benedict, 7 different types of pancakes including pancakes stuffed with mascarpone cheese and fresh fruit topped with whipped cream and chopped hazelnuts and Nutella sauce or a “Smored” pancake with chocolate, marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs.
Best of all, they had GRITS!!!!
I went with the Waffle Sampler which is a Belgium waffle topped with corn beef hash, scrambled eggs, and sausage gravy (which was excellent) by the way and a side of grits on the side.
My low calorie/low cholesterol breakfast was truly an embarrassment of riches!
General store built 1860, served as post office station 1871-1970, owned and operated by Bill Crowley (postmaster 1945-1982) as luncheonette and general store since 1949, now operated by next generation since Bill's death in 2006.
Post office station since relocated across the street.

Constructed in 1912 by William Steele and Sons Inc., this building served as a bakery and retail outlet for the Horn & Hardart Automat restaurant chain.
Horn and Hardart was founded in 1888 as a luncheonette cafe which was highly successful. In 1902 the company opened the first ever Automat at 818 Chestnut Street. In the Automat, pre-baked items were placed in glass display cases whose doors were unlocked by depositing nickels. This new concept was in instant hit and soon two more locations were opened nearby.
It soon became clear that a new centralized bakery was necessary and the company was also wanting to open a new prototype store that was built from the ground up as opposed to leased storefronts. To fulfill this vision, Horn and Hardart turned to the William Steele and Sons Company.
Founded in the 1880's as a carpentry firm in the city's Kensington section, Steele and Sons expanded to become a major firm specializing in the design and construction of several commercial buildings in Philadelphia.
After being approached by Horn and Hardart, Steele purchased the site at 15 South 11th Street (former site of a theater) in 1910. Working closely with Horn and Hardart, Steele engineered the facility to fit their needs and oversaw the construction, as well as the installation of equipment. Upon completion, Horn and Hardart operated the building under a long term lease from Steele, buying the property outright in 1959.
One of the earliest uses of polychromatic glazed terra-cotta in Philadelphia, the exterior ornament of the Steele building is cited as an example of the "transitional period" in commercial architecture. Perhaps influenced by the work of contemporaries such as Louis Sullivan or Cass Gilbert, the Steele architects designed a building that followed the basic classical design (base shaft and crown) made popular by the Beaux Arts movement, but used abstract detailing that would later be credited as the forerunner of Art Deco.
Engineering wise, the Steele building was considered noteworthy as an early use of reinforced concrete, back when that technology was still relatively new. Albert Kahn's Packard Motor car building (1910) on North Broad street may has served as a direct influence.
Horn and Hardart owned the building until 1969 when it was sold. By that time the once iconic chain (85 locations at it's peak in 1958) was facing pressure from fast food establishments as well as the decline of inner city neighborhoods where they had been fixtures.
In later years the building was home to a variety of storefronts on the ground floor along with the Sound of Market music store (known for it's jazz selection) on the upper floors.
Brickstone Realty purchased the building in 2010 and evicted all the tenants with the intention of renovating the structure into creative office space with new ground floor retail.
In May of 2016, it was announced that The Yard, a Brooklyn based coworking space provider was leasing the entire 24,000 square feet office section. Honeygrow, a locally based eatery will open on the ground floor in 2017

This former Woolworth's store was built in 1939. Today it houses an Antique Mall, as well as an original Woolworth's Luncheonette.
The business looks like it's been gone for a long time, but the vintage sign lives on. The other side of the sign is so sun-bleached that you can't read the Coca-Cola part.
c1915 postcard view of McCormick's store in Clinton, Indiana. The street number above the door appears to be 323. The large signs in the display windows advertised CIGARS, CANDY, SODA and a LUNCHEONETTE. The McCORMICK’s name was painted on both display windows and on the door glass. The left display window also advertised MORSE’S THE PREFERRED CHOCOLATE. Above the chocolate ad was a display copy of PHYSICAL CULTURE magazine. A display sign at the right side of that window included the word TUXEDO and 39c, but the remainder of the sign is unclear. Several small baskets and other items were displayed in the window.
Display cases could be seen through the door glass and a coat rack stood at the back of the store.
The other window contained a cigarette advertisement. TO WIN MORE FRIENDS! 50 LUCKY STRIKES TAX FREE. REGULAR PRICE 40c. WE PAY THE 15c TAX. YOU PAY ONLY 25c. LIMITED SUPPLY—ACT QUICKLY! Below that ad, HOT CHOCOLATE WITH WHIPPED CREAM 10c was painted on the window. However, the centerpiece in that display was an Edison Phonograph. An oval sign advertised THE NEW EDISON PHONOGRAPH. The advertising piece in the lower left-hand corner included BESIDE a SAV’RY STREAM and ONE SMILE. The latter was a song published by Edison and the other probably was as well. The other advertising piece was ONLY EDISON RECORDS GIVE YOU THE REAL ORGAN TONE. The advertising piece on the right side of the display included MADIERA and SAVE YOUR SORROW. Again, the latter was a song published by Edison.
From a private collection.

Does anyone know more about Boston Candy Kitchen?
There was a soda fountain by that name in Glens Falls, NY that was famous for their ribbon candy. That place opened in 1902 and closed just a few years ago. Martha Stewart featured them on her show in 2002.
However, the Boston Candy Kitchen in this photo is in Stroudsburg, PA. I've found mention of other BCKs across New York State, Connecticut and other places, but a timeline of the Glens Falls place doesn't mention that there was more than one. I'm guessing that means Boston Candy Kitchen was just a common name for candy stores on luncheonettes but I don't know for sure.

Named for its location as well as its views, this 28-acre recreational area was inspired by urban rooftop designs like those in Japan. Play tennis, basketball, swim laps, roller skate (there’s a small luncheonette at the rink) and more, plus two playgrounds are available for the kids. Have lunch or dinner at one of the picnic areas, all of which offer spectacular vistas of the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge. The roller rink converts to ice skating from November to January.
The Cup & Saucer is a tiny restaurant located on Canal Street, in Chinatown, New York City. My ex wife remembers this place when she was a little girl growing up there, and tells me that this place has not changed at all.
That's one of the things I really love about New York City. Parts of it are so modern, and changing all the time, but there are a lot of areas like this, remaining unchanged for decades.
I hope that this place always stays as she remembers it. I grew up on Long Island, and when I go there now, I can't even recognize it anymore. Everything has become so different then what I remember from my childhood. That makes me kind of sad. I wish at least a few things could have stayed as they were..
