A booth at Mickey's

Mickey's Diner, downtown St. Paul, the dining-car building that has been there since 1939 and is open twenty-four hours and looks exactly like the diner in every movie. Order the breakfast plate. Sit in the booth. Read the newspaper somebody left. The cook will know the regulars. You are not a regular. That is fine. Mickey's makes room for both.
