A new neighbor

The historic Poirier's Diner (a 1947 Kullman, the second diner in the state to be individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places) has found a new home on our block of Westminster Street.

For more than fifty years, and under many different names, such as Armand's, Krystal's, the Top Hat, Arnold's and most recently, the El Faro, the Diner was located on Atwells Avenue at Eagle Square. On Tuesday, January 13, the Diner was placed on a truck and rolled down the block to its new home at 1380 Westminster Street.

The Diner will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week. And it will feature  classic American Diner fare, along with a bar and outdoor seating.  It is expected to open in Summer 2012.
