Let’s hear it for the working class.  That’s most of us, right?  65th Street Diner is the sort of place the blue collar sort congregate at for a good meal and a sweet treat during the lunch hour.

The diner’s open for breakfast and for lunch — and that lunch if you get it off the line is $6.50.  And if you’re lucky, you might end up with a plate of fried chicken like that thar photo.  More on the jump.
