Restaurant Review

The word is "Poppy's grass fed beef burgers are delicious, but be prepared for a totally "no frills" storefront with a few tables, pinball machine, and food wrapped in foil and served in a paper bag. Plates are not available and if your in the mood for a salad, you'll have to manage with tomato and lettuce and a tiny side of coleslaw. For me, the grass-fed burger prepared to perfection, is worth the trip."

On a warm day buy the burgers and eat out at one of the parks along the Hudson in Beacon, New York.

Bit of History
The "Historic" Village Diner is significant as a distinctive example of early-twentieth century American roadside architecture surviving exceptionally intact from its date of manufacture in the 1920's. It embodies distinguishing characteristics of the type and period in its streamlined metal railroad dining car inspired design, which was intended to evoke, at once, the ideas of travel, food cleanliness and modern efficiency. The diner is additionally significant as a representative example of a Silk City Diner, a highly popular prefabricated dining car line manufactured by the Paterson Vehicle Company of Paterson, New Jersey from the 1920's to the 1950's. Moved several times to adapt to changing travel patterns, the history of the diner also recalls the growth and development of the regional transportation system during the early automobile age.
