At 34 square feet the Micro Diner is the World's Smallest Diner according to the World Record Academy. This eatery, located at 501 North Franklin Street in Watkins Glen, NY., is so small they can only serve 4 guests at a time.

If you blink you will miss it!!! Cutest little diner located on the side of another building on the main road in Watkins Glen that serves mostly hot dogs and burgers. Very friendly older gentleman will greet you with a smile. Check it out when in town! - Eileen H., Harrisburg, PA via Yelp 

 

If you are looking for a delicious dog or have a hankering' for a hamburger, Micro Diner is the spot for you and the prices are as small as the diner. Expect to pay around $3 for a burger and $4 for a hot dog.

Put this on your weekend wandering list as the Micro Diner is only open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
