""The diner is my stainless steel or inanimate child in a way," Stillman said."
"("Have you ever seen a floating diner?" a child can be heard saying in one of the videos shared of the move.)"
""But it just seemed like a great thing to preserve it.""
The Wythe Diner, a 50-ton stainless-steel railcar at Wythe and North Third in Williamsburg, was lifted by crane, placed on a flatbed truck, and moved to the Brooklyn Navy Yard for use as a movie and TV set for Steiner Studios. Sandy Stillman, who bought the diner in 1997, sold the lot this summer for $12.5 million to a developer associated with Yoel Schwimmer and arranged to preserve the diner. The diner has functioned as a regular diner, upscale restaurant, La Esquina outpost, Chanel pop-up, and a film location in movies like Men in Black 3.
