South
Street Diner (formerly the Blue Diner) was built in 1947 by the
Worcester Dining Company to serve local factory workers. Over the years,
the Diner has become a local landmark, a constant in Boston's
after-hours scene and a final evening destination for local residents,
students and visitors. When the clubs close, the Diner is the place to
grab something to eat, hang out with friends, celebrity watch, and keep
the party going. No visit to Boston is complete without a stop to the
South Street Diner.
Over
the years, the Diner has been named a Best of Boston by Boston Magazine
and called "The PLACE for college students to start their Spring Break
Tour" by Rolling Stone Magazine. The Diner has also been featured in
numerous feature films, including: Hiding Out with John Cryer; Second
Sight with John Laroquette; House Guest with Steve Martin; and The Blue
Diner for PBS.
South Street Diner - Featured in the movie 21 with Kevin Spacey, is
currently owned and operated by local restraunteur Sol Sidell. Sol grew
up in the restaurant business and always dreamed of owning a place where
people could have fun, get great food at reasonable prices, and feel
like a regular the first time they walk through the door. He brings his
passion for creating great dishes and making people happy to everything
he does at South Street.
Today, South Street Diner is Boston's only all-night dining destination
seven-nights-a-week.
While
the neighborhood around South Street Diner has evolved from factories
producing shoes and hand bags, to an artist community, student mecca,
and part of the city-wide Big Dig construction site, one thing has
remained unchanged --- South Street Diner is Boston's true diner, and
the heart of Boston's late night scene.
