Day June Lunchonette is a small local restaurant serving American classics for breakfast and lunch.  The present owners, Ely and Danielle Franco, have been the owners for about a year and a half, but it’s been a restaurant space for some time.  The name is a take on lunch in French dejeuner.  Inside are a variety of table sizes and an L-shaped counter with stools.   Windows to the street, a new wood floor and art on the walls are complimented by music in the background.  Breakfast is served all day and service was super friendly.  The menu isn’t huge but is well chosen to highlight foods you want to try.  If I get back to the area, I certainly would go again and hope you will to when you visit the Catskills.

Angelo’s Luncheonette, Wilmington, DE., 4/4/24

Angelo’s Luncheonette was started by the Muzzi family in 1967.  August Muzzi, who started there at age  17 still works the grill at the old-school luncheonette that is in a 1894 building.  He doesn’t like change and not much has changed at this cute cozy place.   His son, daugther and son-in-law all work in the place named for August’s father Angelo.  The Biden family are regular patrons and an election poster from his days in the Senate hangs next to a letter to Muzzi from Biden.  Someone in the family was a huge Elvis fan as there are a ton of memorabilia and photos decorating the place.  The small place had counter stools in front of the cooking and prep areas and a few small booths on the opposite wall.  They serve only breakfast and lunch and are cash only (they do have a debit machine on-site).  The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the food was quite good.  It’s a funky one-of-a-kind place that I hope all will get to visit while it’s still in business.
