Many years ago, in the various Union Stations across the country, one could always find a good meal waiting for them at The Harvey House, served by a Harvey Girl. There are very few left, but the one in Kansas City has wonderful service, atmosphere, and cuisine.
Even as large and, dare I say opulent, as the Harvey House is, there was a diner in St. Louis that could hold its own both with service and cuisine. Sadly, the photo with the name of the little place did not turn out, and my memory sucks, so all I can show you is a photo of our waitress:
The eggs were perfect, the coffee rich and flavorful - served in old fashioned, white, thick, heavy mugs. This was a tiny little diner, within walking distance of the stadium.
