The Broad Street Diner, no longer a place for ribs
Melrose Diner owner Michael Petrogiannis' takeover of the long-dormant Broad Street Diner (Broad and Ellsworth) is wicked close, if the revamped facade and factory-fresh/very patriotic sign are any indication.
The Broad Street Diner, no longer a place for ribs

Melrose Diner owner Michael Petrogiannis' takeover of the long-dormant Broad Street Diner (Broad and Ellsworth) is wicked close, if the revamped facade and factory-fresh/very patriotic sign are any indication. But let us take this opportunity to pour one out for the no-longer-in-existence "A Place for Ribs" sub-signage that we admired so very much. Never had the pleasure of gnawing on ribs at BSD when it was in operation, but knowing that it was indeed a place (not the place — a place) to acquire them always served as a strange kind of comfort.
