Boogies

Ordinarily I wouldn't post about a diner, but Boogie's is no ordinary diner. On its logo is written, "Jeans, Feets, Eats." Where else could you drop $450 on a pair of woman's boots while waiting to be seated or buy other high-end shoes for both men & women? They stock all brands of jeans too from Versace, Ralph Lauren to other names unfamiliar to me. And at what other diner would you find as many designated heart healthy choices as regular diner fare?

We had lunch at Boogie's, and who should be seated near us? Bill Clinton! The Ex-Pres., in town for the second time in 2 weeks., had lunch with a group of children and a man & woman, possibly parents of some of them. Nearby were tables filled by, I'm sure, secret service agents. After his lunch, Clinton happily posed for pictures with the waiters, busboys & any fellow staff & diners who felt like getting into the picture. All were assured they'd receive copies.

Lunch fare was no better/no worse than in any other diner, but the ambiance, now that's another thing entirely.

Boogie's is a great fifties style diner, serving up great tuna melts, soups and salads to tourists and locals alike. It's been around forever, and the pictures on the wall will prove it. There can be a long wait on weekends, but Boogie's won't mind if you browse the store downstairs while you wait- they've got tons of designer clothes at Aspen prices while you wait. True Religion, Citizens, Diesel, you name it. You'll have to eat at a diner after buying an outfit there! The music is loud and fun and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.
PROS: good, home style affordable food
CONS: long wait, loud music
