Character.

That is what these places have and what is oft lacking today. And it cannot be recreated. I've been to plenty of places that had the faux diner thing going. Ick. And the chain places with old stuff on the walls that has no context. A sad attempt at character. These old places have character and that's why we love them. Some new places have it too. I don't think it has a thing to do with age, though a lot of great places are old(er).
