href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jonk\/status\/297738315300483072\/photo\/1\">turned out to be a dud<\/a>, i was left scratching my head on how to fill some now-available hours of the day before <a href=\"http:\/\/boardingarea.com\/blogs\/justanotherpointstraveler\/2013\/01\/25\/details-for-nj-reader-dinnermeet-up-february-2\/\">dinner<\/a>. and foursquare to the rescue. i accidentally discovered its utility last summer when i was <a title=\"Instawalk: Jersey Shore\" href=\"http:\/\/jett.in\/instawalk-jersey-shore\/\">at the Jersey Shore<\/a> and it offered me the Jersey Shore house (which i didn&#8217;t know was there) as a check-in spot.<\/p>\n<p>so i searched for &#8220;abandoned&#8221; and it offered up several options. a couple of those were duds as well (there was a &#8220;creepy abandoned high school&#8221; that turned out to be a house; i&#8217;m assuming it was a halloween thing), but i did see &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/foursquare.com\/v\/abandoned-diner\/504cf4f5e4b0ef19b16619a0\">abandoned diner<\/a>&#8220;. i was intrigued.<\/p>\n<p>i don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s on anyone&#8217;s radar, but it should be. it&#8217;s right off of a fairly major highway. i wasn&#8217;t going to attempt to find an entrance to check out the inside, but i umm, noticed there well, wasn&#8217;t &nbsp;front door. so of course i invited myself in.<\/p>\n<p>WHAT A FIND.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jonk\/8438811764\/\" title=\"Abandoned diner by jon|k, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\"
