I remember my grandparents taking me and my brothers there for breakfasts during the week before we reached school age. I then enjoyed family dinners there into my teens, and then late night coffee with cheese fries and gravy (healthy, I know). So many good memories there, I can't believe it is gone, I guess I took it for granted assuming it would be there forever. What a shame...I wish I could buy one of it's old table juke boxes :) I loved and miss the Thru-Way diner.

That was a landmark in New Rochelle! I remember that place after church, after school sometimes and always after a night out on the town! It was the place to be. I was very sad to hear it is no more.

The best Napoleon's anywhere! I now live upstate, but anytime my family and I were in the area, the diner would always be one of our stops. Many good times were had there with friends. It will be greatly missed. The Thruway Diner was the place to go for a great late night snack, especially the desserts. The best Napoleon’s anywhere!

I believe there was no one over the age of 30 and it was jammed packed. Infact a off-duty police officer was standing at the front door looking like a bouncer. It's a shame that the old diners are all but about gone. Anyone who had never experienced eating at the Thruway Diner has truly missed out on a great place.

We had one where I grew up in Medford, Mass. It was Carroll's Diner which closed at the end of 1986 and was torn down in 1987. People still talk about the place and to this day nothing has come along to replace it. Thanks Sanya,

We went to a club right after the prom but we had to end it up at the Thru-way. One person squirted ketchup all over is light colored tux. My friends and I ate there after the prom in 1979.
