The Moondance Diner, the last free-standing diner in Manhattan, rife with my own personal history, will be history after this weekend. This from New York 1:

            
            
            
            
The Moondance Diner in SoHo will serve its final meal Sunday after 70 years in business.

The restaurant has been seen in several movies, including
“Spider-Man,” and television shows like “Sex and the City” and
“Friends.”

In a month, the diner will move to a museum in Pennsylvania – where it will be turned into an exhibit.

The restaurant’s owner says it will be missed by its workers, its patrons, and tourists.

"A lot of people, they get married here, they find they’re
girlfriends here,” said Sunny Sharma, owner of the Moondance Diner.
“They live in New Jersey, all over, but most the tourists here come
from Europe – Belgium, France, England – they all come here to see. Not
to see me, just to see the Moondance Diner, the sign of Moondance
Diner.”
