Norm’s Diner – Groton CT

Only open til 1:30 (and closed on Tuesdays) this Silk City built diner no longer has Norm at the helm, but owner and grillman is Steve, who bought the diner with his sister 3 years ago.

I knew I was in the right place as soon as I spotted Steve’s tattoo ( #carpediem being one of my mantras as you know!)

A closeup of the even more inspirational ink:

I LOVE the fact that they have baked beans on the breakfast menu - we're in New England now!

Take a look for the vintage Silk City tags:

Just off 95, Carpe Diner and make this your breakfast / lunch stop. Just get there early.
