Mickey's Diner

Mickey's Diner is an art deco-styled, dining car restaurant located in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota, United States, at 36 West 7th Street. It was prefabricated in 1937 by the Jerry O'Mahony Diner Company of Elizabeth, New Jersey; shipped to Saint Paul by rail; and installed just before World War II. Measuring just 50 feet long by 10 feet wide, the 24-hour diner has operated non-stop since it first opened according to employees. In 1983, the diner was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the only building of its kind in the state of Minnesota.
