This operating restaurant and bar drew its inspiration from American-styled diners and serves up burgers, fries and milkshakes from a [colorful and neon-clad interior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipnfry). The company behind this installation, the [Rockwell Group](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zaytinya-nyc) said that "Diners are uniquely American and enduring in our cultural iconography, our goal is to capture the restaurant's inherently optimistic and democratic spirit that draws people of all backgrounds to create a welcoming, lively, engaging, and fun environment." In addition to booth-style tables, the Diner Pop-Up features 14-meter-long bar that serves craft beers and custom cocktails.
