Don't Call Me a (Soda) Jerk!

Eleven City Diner is one of those places you go to when you aren't craving anything in particular.  It's just a magical place where everything tastes like awesome and the fun decor gives you a feel-good vibe as you try to take it all in while waiting.  You get seated by the smiling hostess, spend 10 minutes deciding between two or three options, realize they serve breakfast all day, spend ANOTHER 10 minutes debating if you really want challah bread french toast at 7pm, and then finally settle for a delicious patty melt.  Just as the waitress comes over to take your order you spot something.  What's that in the corner of the menu, a real deal soda fountain?  Damn right I want that soda jerk to make me a cherry cola!
