Starlite Diner in Daytona Beach, FL

Starlite Diner Sign
Starlite Diner in Daytona Beach is located on A1A, just across the street from the Ocean Walk shopping area/hotels. This restaurant is in one of those great prefabricated diner buildings that aren't seen too often in Florida.

Inside Starlite Diner
I've visited Starlite Diner several times on my visits to Daytona Beach. Some meals have been better than others, but the food has always been pretty good as far as Florida diners go.

This Philadelphia Chicken Cheesesteak wasn't the best sandwich I've had here. The sandwich was filled with grilled chicken, peppers, onions, and cheese. It tasted very plain and really could have used some sort seasoning. It took lots of mustard to give the sandwich more flavor...

The Turkey Club that I ordered on another visit was much better. The triple layer sandwich was filled with turkey, cheese, and mayonnaise on the lower level, followed by a slice of bread, then topped with an upper level of lettuce, tomato, and bacon. The sandwich was generously filled and was a whole lot to eat. Homefries and pickle slices were served on the side. It was a relatively simple, but yet tasty sandwich, leaving me with no complaints about the meal!

After dark, the neon lighting on Starlite Diner blends in nicely with the illuminations on the Oceanwalk hotel across the street. It all looks very retro...

Yesterday's Diner in New Hyde Park, NY

Yesterday's Diner 8-9-09 sign
Yesterday's Diner isn't the best name for a restaurant in my opinion. It makes me imagine that all of the food is leftovers from the previous day. It doesn't help that the menu titles each section with yesterday, for example, you could order "Yesterday's Sandwiches." It just doesn't sound right to me, but I ended up eating a late breakfast at Yesterday's Diner regardless of the name.

I ordered a Spinach Florentine Omelet. I'm not normally an egg person, especially in restaurants, unless there's enough additional ingredients mixed in to add extra flavor. I was hesitant to get my omelet, but I decided to give it a try. Luckily for me, I enjoyed the Spinach Florentine. The omelet was filled with fresh spinach and plenty of feta cheese and didn't really taste egg-like at all. I liked it! The omelet was served with a side of homefries and two slices of whole wheat toast.
