Phantom Diner

A restaurant or coffee shop you half remember visiting while drunk. In most cases the location of the restaurant is mistaken. If a drunk forgets something and tries to retrieve it the following day it will seem as though the restaurant was an apparition, as there is no restaurant where they believe they ate.

Its called a phantom diner because the scenario is very similar to a popular ghost story genre - a man has en experience with strange characters at a bar, on a ship, on a train, only to return the next day to find the setting has been abandoned for many years, or is just gone.
"I swear I was at a diner on 45th and Oak Street last night and left my phone. I took a cab there this morning, but when I got there there was no restaurant to be found. It's like it just vanished"

Mel's Diner

Sometimes known as Mel's Drive-In, a chain of 1950's (and sometimes 60's) themed diner known for nice 50's and 60's music with actual jukebox, delicious meals, and friendly staff. Often brings people who was alive in the 1950's, a lot of memories from these "great times".
This is a great diner! I love this place. I think Jenna's parents decided to name their second child Melanie after Mel's Diner since Jenna and Melanie are completely unrelated names, and they have been to Mel's Diner in Wilmington, New York near Whiteface Ski Resort.

Doner Boner

When you have a hard-on (big craving) for some Doner, which is a dinner of juicy, crispy shavings of chicken and beef atop a bed of rice, greek style potatoes and salad topped with creamy white garlic sauce and fiery red hot sauce. Sorta like a shawarma dinner plate.
