Inside the Night Talker Diner at night — a long counter with red stools, a glass pie case, fresh coffee, warm pendant lights, and red booths beside windows that look out on the dark, quiet street.
Open all night

Night Talker Diner

Somebody left the lights on for you.

Pull Up a Stool

This is the counter at Moonlight Bay. Say hello, answer a prompt, complain about the coffee, wish somebody happy birthday, or just let somebody know you're awake. Nobody has to be interesting. Just be kind.

      Chili Cook-Off Counter

      The Chamber says there's a chili cook-off coming. Nobody has to type the whole recipe from an index card. Just tell us one thing: what makes your chili yours?

      Birthday Booth

      Got a birthday in the family? Yours, your kid's, your grandkid's, your best friend's, or somebody at the table?

      Say happy birthday in the Diner and let Moonlight Bay clap from the booths.
