This is a list of notable diners. A diner is a prefabricated restaurant building characteristic of American life. They are commonly found in New England, the Midwest, New York City, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and in other areas of the Northeastern United States, but they are not limited to these areas; examples can be found throughout the United States, Canada and parts of Western Europe. Diners are characterized by offering a wide range of foods, mostly American, a casual atmosphere, a counter, and late operating hours. Diners commonly stay open 24 hours a day, especially in cities, making them an essential part of urban culture, alongside bars and nightclubs.
