The Cheyenne Diner, one of the city’s last railcar-style eateries, is moving to Brooklyn, according to Urbanite. The chrome-encased, 1940s-vintage diner on West 33rd Street closed on April 6th to make way for a new building. Michael O’Connell, the son of Red Hook developer Greg O’Connell, bought the diner for $5,000 and plans to move it to Red Hook and restore and reopen it. I can’t begin to tell you how many people are excited about it in Red Hook, said Greg O’Connell, It’s a great thing, and my son is so excited over this. Add us to that list.
