Pinecrest Diner

When you need a plate of scrambled eggs and hash browns or a tuna melt at 3a, there are not many places that can help you out. This coffee shop can not only serve them up for you, but they will be tasty and bargain-priced, too. The set up is classically functional with a long counter on one wall, deep-cushioned booth seating on the other and a few Formica tables in between. The colors are chocolate brown and harvest gold, reflecting the decorating craze at the time of its last remodeling somewhere back in the late '60s. The place is tidy and the wait staff is professional. Denizens include tourists, local professionals, and the crowd from one of the local theaters catching a bite before or after the show.
