text: I really enjoyed watching a tiny older caricature at an adjoining table tell the waiter he had left a rather generous tip This tip turned out to be about three quarters and a few nickels on a full breakfast tab Even allowing for the presence of old Monsieur Skinflint there is a convivial atmosphere Lots of older regulars and lots of charactersnnThe food was fine To hear it described here and elsewhere one might think that diner food had been revolutionized Not so As far as I am concerned nothing out of the ordinary That is not such a bad thing when the omelettes are not greasy and the tab is reasonable And I guess since the United States is entirely opting out of the good proletariat diner genre a place like lUniversel might get a little extra credit
