On Thursday, October 16th, this journalist had the chance to dine at Landmark Diner, which has been part of the Long Island community for over 45 years.

In 2009, it became the first double-decker diner in the United States.

Each day of the week, the diner has its own specials, which are served with soup or fresh salad.
