If you miss a town meeting you can come here and find out what's going on. Today, Casey is enjoying a bowl of won ton soup, perhaps the most popular dish on the diner's menu. With four tables, two booths and 10 seats around a U-shaped counter, space is at a premium. Along with the food, she serves up some good-natured ribbing. Customers here are very demanding.
People only have a half-hour.

Levy has eaten breakfast and lunch at Lee's for the past 20 years. People would pass other places just to come here. Levy's loyalty prompted the owner, Elly Lee, to make a key for him.
