Starway Diner -- Saugerties, NY

Ah, diner food.  It's everyone's comfort food because they serve it all.  I'm a fan of diner food in general, and the Starway Diner has plenty good food.  Don't be in a hurry, though, as service can be a tad slow.  On the other hand, the commode is shared with the pizza place that is actually part of the same restaurant.  Also quite good.

What I've noticed is that their commode is kind of a metaphor for the restuarant as a whole, which is the point of the whole "know your commode, know your place of business" philosophy, after all.  So here's what I see in the commode:

What?  Pretty tile, bordered with pretty tile, gleaming in the bright light, just like a bathroom should be?

Super-clean and tidy sink area, with everything within reach in an appropriate manner?  Sounds perfect.  Is it?  Almost.

So, it's okay.  I know, I know.  The pattern on the door, the 'texture', doesn't quite match the tile.  It's a tad jarring.  I'm being overly picky.  But then there's this:

It's like they got so far, then said, "To heck with it, we have to be a little practical here, and that tile cost us a small fortune.  Just go with the regular stalls, for God's sake."

While the diner does a pretty good job of having ambience and good food, it's like the bathroom is having an identity crisis and doesn't quite know if it belongs to the diner or the pizza place.  Overall, however, clean, functional, and bright.
