Another North Jersey Diner Demolished: Here’s What’s Replacing It

The West Side Diner on Route 46 in Denville, a Route 46 fixture for roughly 40 years, was demolished over Memorial Day weekend to make room for an expansion of the neighboring Anchor Ace Hardware store and additional parking. The loss is part of a broader trend sweeping North Jersey, with diners in Hackensack, Edison, Hoboken, and Ridgefield all recently closing or being replaced by decidedly less eggy businesses.
