New York City's disappearing diners

It's getting harder and harder to grab a booth and some late night disco fries in New York City. Just last weekend, the Neptune diner in Astoria, Queens closed to make way for a new housing development. That's another in a long line of the city's landmark diners to close their doors -- a trend that only accelerated with the Covid pandemic.

For nearly ten years, photographer Riley Arthur has been capturing images of the city's disappearing diners. She runs an Instagram account called "Diners of NYC" and joins Weekend Edition host David Furst to talk about her project and why so many city diners are closing.
