They serve literally anything you could want at any time. If you’re a night owl, you can grab a hearty pasta dish or a fish fry for dinner in the middle of the night. An early riser could grab eggs and toast or pancakes for breakfast at 2am. And if a late-night craving for something sweet pops up, you can dash to your local diner to pick up a slice of cake, piece of pie, or something else decadent from your 24-hour diner’s bakery display.Now that you remember why diners open 24/7 are the best, you might have one question–Where did they all go?<h2>Only Six 24-Hour Diners Are Left In Upstate New York</h2>The Covid-19 pandemic and inflation in food prices are a major factor in why 24-hour diners are now found few and far between.There’s plenty of chain restaurants open 24/7, like Denny’s and McDonald’s, but for this list, we’ve chosen to focus on locally-owned spots– and unfortunately, there’s not many.Specifically, we could only find six…yes, six…that are still open in Upstate New York.We’re really hoping that we’re wrong, so we forgot any of your local favorites from your Upstate New York town, be sure to let us know.That being said, here are the last remaining 24-hour diners in Upstate New York.<h2>25 "Must See" Places On Your Next Upstate New York Road Trip.
