The World's Smallest Diner is 34 Square Feet

Every summer, the town of Watkins Glen in the Finger Lakes region of New York experiences a surge of visitors in search of scenic wonders, both natural and man-made. The latter includes a tiny diner that bills itself as the world's smallest. WETM 18 News interviewed the owner, 83-year old Gerry Collins.

Depending on how it's measured, the establishment covers either 32 or 34 square feet. It hypothetically seats four people, but the heat from cooking makes interior temperatures unbearable for dining. Although a variety of foods are available, most people come for Collins's traditional Coney Island-style hot dogs.

It's located in a region of one of the finger lakes. Which one? "Why, the longest, dirtiest one!" Quote by Fred Armisen portraying Lawrence Welk in a Dooneese skit.
