It's not at the truck stop. Just stay on Fish House Road (accessed from the WittPenn Bridge), and you will run into to the diner.

Pretty interesting location.

Under The Skyway

June 02, 2008
Eric Levin
New Jersey Monthly

Like the Boardwalk, with its miles of herringbone wooden beams, the Pulaski Skyway, connecting Newark and Jersey City, offers seclusion and mystery under its miles of steel beams and concrete pillars.

Couples dip under the Boardwalk for privacy, cool shade and slats of light, sliced by the shadows of passersby and the squeak of stroller wheels and the slap of running sneakers.

The Skyway is too high to offer intimate shelter, much of it's hulking footprint and shadow is off-limits to passersby, and the complexity of its interlocking black steel beams can't challenge the Boardwalk for romance.

You have to stand right under the Skyway to contemplate its size, its age, and its looming industrial severity. It rules its alien turf, which is neither urban nor suburban; it defines that turf, serves as compass and spirit and motionless monster bestriding the industrial prairie.

Under the Skyway stands one of New Jersey's most distinctively situated diners, the Skyway Diner.

The first picture was taken in a parking area for the diner directly under the Skyway's vertiginous roadways.

The second picture looks out from the diner to the tribe of trucks always parked there, with the Skyway in the background.
