The New Hall Diner is closing at the end of the weekend.
Owner Tamarie Cataldo wrote in a Facebook Post on the diner’s page earlier this month that despite efforts to purchase the building, the decision was made to close.
On May 21 the New diner will officially shut its doors.
“Although I’m devastated in many ways after putting so much work into building clientele, curating amazing relationships with customers, vendors & neighbors, experimenting with recipes & flavors, creating a lovely space for conversation & social health, & all of the many rewards, triumphs, joys & hard lessons I will take with me, I am also looking forward to what the next chapter will bring,” Cataldo wrote in that Facebook post. “I had tried to buy the building for awhile, with no avail and knew that if someone else bought it, there was always the possibility that they would want to do their own thing with the space.”
She says that is the case.
As for everyone who made the New Hall Diner what it is today? Cataldo is grateful.
“I can’t thank enough the people who have helped this diner thrive…all of my ⭐ROCKSTAR⭐ employees & partner, Greg!! I couldn’t have asked for a better crew of fun, thoughtful, dedicated & creative bunch…THANK YOU!! We can all hold our heads up high with knowing what we created & sustained in 5 great years serving this community & leaving on a good note with love & support from our customer base & high ratings on Google, Facebook, yelp, etc…couldn’t ask for better than that,” she added.
Cataldo said the Facebook page will remain active in case there are future events that could benefit the diner’s patrons.
