Hi All,

I'm planning to drive from Maine to Illinois next week. Along the way I would love to stop in some small, family-owned cafes, bakeries or other businesses. I especially love really old places, the kind that have been in one family forever.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Karen

Don't know if this is on your route, but I have fond memories of the Miss Bellows Falls diner in (of course)Bellows Falls, Vt. An authentic old train car diner with good food and personable servers. I loved it 10 years ago, and online reviews indicate that it's still going strong: http://www.yelp.com/biz/miss-bellows-falls-diner-bellows-falls

And if you're going to be passing through the Rochester, NY area on I-90, I can recommend some of my own hometown favs.
