The Silk City Diner, Lounge, & Beer Garden has a long history in Philadelphia. The diner car was built in 1952 by the Patterson Dining Company in Patterson, New Jersey. At the time, Patterson had a thriving silk manufacturing industry and was nicknamed ���Silk City.��� Hence, the diner car, also manufactured in Patterson, was dubbed a ���Silk City Diner.��� By 1954, the diner was installed next to a cocktail lounge in Philadelphia at 5th & Spring Garden and began serving Philadelphians brunch, dinner, and nightly entertainment happily since.
