NEW YORK, NY April 06, 2008 —The Cheyenne Diner has been on Ninth Avenue and 33rd Street for 68 years. But today's the last day to have a lumberjack breakfast in the 20-by-100-foot railroad car eatery, before a nine-story apartment complex replaces it.

The place has been packed with customers who are saying goodbye, like Michael Cantor:

CANTOR: I've been coming here... I feel like the old-time New York... I've been coming here seven years, and I get the buffalo burger or the tuna melt, and its one of the last vestiges of the old '50s diners. Now I know why it's crowded. I can't belive it.

REPORTER: Landlord George Papas says he's talking to preservationists about trying to save the diner. After the Moondance Diner downtown closed last year to make way for luxury condos, the 1930s-era structure was moved to Wyoming.
