i came up with a theory last night while at glory days (if you don't know what that is, it's like a sports themed restaurant on the east coast)
context: yesterday, my friend and i decided to go to glory days late at night cuz why not. we saw a bunch of the popular sporty kids there, including our old driver's ed teacher.
i then started to think about silver diner and how it kinda has a similar menu, and then, it hit me. glory days and silver diner are on the opposite ends of the school team event after party spectrum. how? well, you see, glory days, like i mentioned earlier, is more sports-themed and is geared more towards athletes n stuff and is usually where school sports teams in my area go after a big game or competition of some sort. meanwhile, silver diner is where most theater kids in the area go for after parties. now, like i mentioned earlier, silver diner and glory days both have similar menus, but how is it different? well, silver diner has more of a jukebox, old-timey theme to it. they even have little jukeboxes on each table so you can play music while you're eating. thus, this restaurant is geared more towards theater/music kids and is a reliable place for after parties.
so what does all of this mean? well, there's a spectrum formed here. on one side, there's the athletic kids hangout end, which is where we put glory days. on the other side, there's the theater kid hangout end, which is where we put silver diner. thus, glory days and silver diner both have some sort of connection with one another, while being targeted towards completely different parties. they both have similar menu items and are chain restaurants specifically found on the east coast, being more prevalent in the dmv area. they both also close at around midnight. thus, i made a visual representation of this below, if you want to add any other restaurants:
quick notes: yes, i am aware that some theater kids go to glory days and some athletic kids go to silver diner. i've seen it happen. also, yes, i am aware that denny's is the #1 theater after party place, but there isn't a denny's in my city and i've never eaten there before, so i didn't put it on the spectrum. once again, feel free to add restaurants you see fit into this graph thing. don't take this post seriously, it's just another one of my shower thoughts i get from time to time. have a great day.
