Day and Night Diner Palmer MA – Vintage Diner in Downtown

The Day and Night Diner on Route 20 in downtown Palmer MA is Worcester Lunch Car Diner #781. Built in 1944 it is currently open for breakfast and lunch.

We did not break fast or eat lunch there this time through town, but only because we had loaded up on snacks while at Brimfield. We had eaten there on a previous swing through Palmer (before RetroRoadmap was invented!) so I can definitely recommend it as a vintage diner experience.

Here's an interesting video of some of the highlights of The Day and Night Diner, courtesy of SvenVonErick on YouTube:

And I'm sorry, but I can't write about this diner without thinking of one of my favorite songs ever - Cole Porter's Night and Day, especially when it's sung by none other than Ella Fitzgerald
