Urban is very good at solving little mysteries and I wondered if anyone can help me with this one.
In August 2000 I visited the WTC. I think it's most likely that when I got off the subway I exited the station at a street level exit and then very soon after went into the nearest diner, which perhaps was as little as 30 or 60 seconds away. I can't be 100% sure though as I know there was a subterranean arcade and although I don't remember passing through ti first, it doesn't mean I didn't.
It seemed to be a relatively old school place. I had pancakes with sausages and maple syrup, the waiter I believe had a little paper hat on and I think the interior of the place was mostly white.
I think I then I just walked directly across the street into the square where the WTC was, although the more I look at videos, the more confused I get about which street I was on and which angle I entered the square from.
Now that that area of Manhattan is remodelled, I can't figure out which street it was from Maps either.
Does anyone remember such a diner and can anyone help me figure out where I was? - maybe by just asking me lots of yes/no deductive questions. Perhaps a pre 2001 Manhattan map of the area could help me to..
It's just become a little internal mystery and I'd love to know the name of the diner and be able to Google it. I always wondered if the waiter was okay on 9/11 and also a really rude woman (who I wished no ill!) who just worked as a lift/elevator attendant and didn't like it when I said hello to her.
