| THIS RESTAURANT IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED When most restaurateurs want to give their diners a retro flair, they break out the Elvis posters and poodle skirts. Lost City Diner, on the other hand, took a Twilight Zone detour into more arcane corners of twentieth-century pop culture. The walls are lined with enlarged reproductions of lurid Amazing Stories and Fantastic Adventures covers --- “Fish Men From Venus!” --- and the shelves with cool retro-futuristic gadgetry; the waitresses are dressed, space-cadet style, in form-fitting military uniforms and jaunty caps. The food is also a back-to-the-future mix: classic diner chow, soda fountain specialties, vegetarian and vegan choices, and such offbeat, eclectic offerings as batter-fried apple rings with horseradish ranch sauce, and a chicken breast waffle with sweet strawberry-onion marmalade. The concept is aimed at hipsters, but junior future-mad-scientist types are sure to like this place, too --- especially the racks of comic books they can peruse while waiting for their food. |
