REMEMBER: HUDSON DINER CIRCA 1929


Who can guess the location of this Deco diner from a photo taken circa 1929.  There are three major clues here including one architectural landmark.  An updated photo will be posted later on in the day of this Harlem address.

ANSWER: The name Hudson Diner was appropriate since this is West 125th Street right by the water. Grant's Tomb can be seen in the background and the train overpass is also another clue.  Today a new lounge called By The Hudson is at this corner and an additional highway overpass has also been built over this section of Manhattanville.

    Looks like 125th Street at the Hudson River. You can see Grant's Tomb in the background.

    Marginal at 25. It was still there until pretty recently.

    125th St and the Hudson River. That looks like the elevated tracks of the New York Central RR's Hudson Line (which Amtrak uses today). Grant's Tomb is also visible.

    I think this was on the waterside of the ferry pier on 125th street.

    that is awesome.

    Shame they did not keep the original dinning car.

    Would have been a great place to move the old and now gone Cheyenne Diner from 31st and 9th.
