According to the Newton TAB and Wicked Local, the people behind the Deluxe Town Diner on Mt. Auburn Street in the Coolidge Square section of East Watertown are looking to open another diner in the space on Union Street in Newton Centre where Starbucks used to be. The article mentions that the Newton Board of Aldermen still has to approve the proposal, with a waiver of a parking space requirement being needed (a public hearing will be held on Tuesday, March 9).
The Deluxe Town Diner in Watertown has been in existence in its present state for about ten years. Their menu features all kinds of classic American dishes, including flapjacks, jo'nny cakes, challah French toast, meat loaf, franks and beans, country-fried steak, chicken pot pie, and macaroni and cheese.
[May 25 update: According to boston.com, the owners of the Deluxe Town Diner took a big step toward opening a new satellite diner in Newton Centre, signing a lease for the old Starbucks space last week. The article goes on to say that the owners of the diner are looking to have the new restaurant open by the fall, and that they are also hoping to be able to serve alcohol and may try to have a pickup window within the place. The address for the upcoming diner will be 70 Union Street in Newton (by the Newton Centre MBTA station).]
[July 14 update: According to a poster on Chowhound, it looks like the new place in Newton Centre will be called the Deluxe Station Diner.]
[January 6, 2011, update: According to Grub Street Boston, Deluxe Station Diner in Newton Centre soft-opens today.]
