Listed by World Record Academy as the World’s Smallest Diner, which is also boldly stated on a sign over the door. Gerry Collins built the 34 sq. ft. eatery (just over 3 sq. m) near the south end of Seneca Lake in 2017, attached to the south side of the Red Men building. Despite the small size (max. cap. 4 persons), the tiny eatery is very popular, featuring traditional-style Coney Island hot dogs. (No ice cream, but it’s across from Ben & Jerry’s.) As it has no heat, it’s commonly closed in cold weather.
