I
cannot
believe
I
have
never
been
to
T&P
until
my
book
club
met
there.
First
of
all,
you
need
to
understand
that
anyplace
that
is
in
an
architecturally
historic
building
(whether
it
is
an
officially
recognized
historic
location
or
not)
AND
maintains
all
of
the
original
architectural
structure,
trim,
decor,
and
furnishings,
is
already
going
to
get
a
higher
number
of
review
stars
from
me.
This
places
nails
that
"historic"
star
as
they
are
located
in
the
original
diner
in
the
historic
T&P
Train
Station
and
the
furnishing
and
decor
looks
like
it
might
have
looked
in
the
30s/40s.
But
to
get
5
stars
they
have
to
nail
it
all
and
this
place
does.
First
of
all,
full
bar
and
they
could
make
me
an
espresso
martini.
Pretty
sure
that
might
not
have
been
available
in
the
30s/40s.
I
think
it
was
called
Night
Car.
All
their
cocktails
have
awesome
train
names!
And
prices
were
on
par
with
any
other
downtown
bar.
Second,
the
food
was
generous
and
tasty.
You
order
at
the
counter
and
they
will
bring
it
to
you.
No
table
service.
Don't
expect
a
wide
variety
of
choices
on
the
menu.
Normally
this
would
cause
a
loss
of
one
of
the
food
stars
I
might
award,
but
they
have
tailored
their
menu
to
replicate
the
kind
of
food
you
might
have
found
in
the
40s
as
you
grabbed
a
bite
between
trains
or
to
take
with
you
in
the
train.
Therefore,
it's
mostly
sandwiches
and
appetizers,
and
the
menu,
in
the
historic
context,
is
perfect
so
no
stars
lost
there.
I
had
the
chicken
salad
on
croissant
and
fries.
Much
more
than
I
could
eat,
but
the
croissant
was
fresh
and
soft,
and
the
chicken
salad
chunky,
fresh,
and
tasty.
The
fries
were
they
way
I
like
them,
crisp
outside
and
soft
inside,
though
as
they
cooled
they
did
get
a
bit
limp.
But
I
was
talking
a
lot
as
we
held
our
book
club
discussion,
so
I
was
eating
really
slowly.
One
of
the
club
members
ordered
the
nachos,
an
appetizer,
but
this
thing
was
huge!!
Definitely
designed
for
sharing
by
an
entire
table
or
a
large
meal
for
one.
She
forgot
to
say
no
jalapeno
and
pulled
off
what
looked
like
a
1/4
cup
of
peppers,
so
if
you
like
them
you
will
have
plenty!
Patio!!
Well,
it's
completely
under
cover
because
of
the
way
the
building
is
built,
and
feels
kind
of
like
being
in
a
basement
even
though
you
are
not.
So,
in
some
ways
you
don't
feel
like
you
are
on
a
patio.
But
you
can't
miss
the
fresh
air
and
temperatures
of
the
day.
Our
weather
that
day
was
perfect,
so
I
thought
the
patio
was
always
like
that.
However,
club
members
assured
me
you
would
feel
the
heat
in
the
summer
despite
the
giant
fan
above
my
head.
Nonetheless,
it
was
an
enjoyable
patio
even
if
I
couldn't
see
anything
of
the
outside
(no
plants,
only
a
small
patch
of
sky).
And
last
but
not
least,
it
was
not
crowded
at
all.
We
met
at
6:30
pm
on
a
Wednesday,
and
there
were
so
few
people
it
felt
like
a
hidden
gem!
Of
course,
it
may
not
be
that
way
on
the
weekends
or
if
the
tvs
are
showing
a
football
game,
but
that
night
it
was
perfect!!
As
we
sat
there
on
the
patio,
the
diner
area
did
fill,
so
it's
not
like
they
don't
have
patrons.
I
realized
the
comfortable
feel
was
because
they
didn't
overstuff
the
dining
area
with
tables,
so
you
can
move
through
the
space
easily
and
the
noise
level
of
the
patrons
is
not
overwhelming.
That
may
be
in
part
because
of
the
really
high
ceilings.
So
go!
You'll
love
it!!
Be
sure
to
save
time
in
the
schedule
to
see
the
rest
of
the
architecture
in
the
other
public
areas
of
the
old
station.
