Mickey's Diner

Who is Mickey? . . . David “Mickey” Crimmins and John “Bert” Mattson were the founders of Mickey’s Diner. Mickey’s Diner was built in New Jersey by the Jerry O’Mahoney Co., in 1937. The Diner was transported by flatbed car to its 9th and St. Peter Street location, where it has operated continuously, 24 hours a day, for over 70 years. Mickey’s was one of the first diners to be built in Art Deco. Previous diners had been all white, whereas Mickey’s boasts a bright red and cream streamline design. Mickey’s Diner was placed on the National Register of Historic Place in 1983 and is one of the first diners to be designated as such.I
