If you're from Long Island or have ever been there, you know how important diners are to everyday life. People can stop by in the morning for a cup of coffee and a baconeggandcheese (yes, it's pronounced as one word), for a dinner with friends, or even at 3 a.m. when everything else is closed. Most people from Long Island would agree that some of their favorite memories were made at the diner.

1. They're open 24/7.

You know it was a successful night out when it ends at the diner.

2. You'll never go too far without finding one.

You can't go more than a mile or two in any direction without seeing a diner.

3. They have all types of food.

If your group of friends is undecided as to what to eat, diners offer many options ranging from breakfast, sandwiches, pasta, gyros, ice cream floats, salads, and plenty more.

4. Their prices are relatively cheap.

Considering how big the portions are, the prices are much more affordable compared to most restaurants.

5. Fast service.

Even when it's a full house, you'll never be waiting more than ten to twenty minutes for your order.

6. You always see someone you know.

*DISCLAIMER: this can also be a bad thing if you don't like the person*

7. You know all the workers.

It's always a great feeling when you walk into a diner and your usual waiter is there to greet you and already knows what you typically order. Nothing beats the homey atmosphere of a diner.

8. There's always a cute old couple sitting nearby.

Because diners would be boring otherwise, right?

9. There are jukeboxes in each booth.

No better way to give the place a low-key retro feeling.

10. The pie!

Pie is one of the most popular items at diners because of each venue's unique taste and presentation.
