Haven on Earth
On a typical night, your fellow diners could very well include local college students procrastinating reality following an evening at the bars, a politician or two, and even a party of wedding-goers from a nearby hotel.
They sit on the few stools available, spill outside in any weather, and patiently form a line out the door, stretching from 5 p.m. until the early morning hours, when the small kitchen aboard the Haven Brothers Diner calls it a day.
To call Haven Brothers a “food truck” would be accurate, if a bit misleading. In actuality, it’s a mobile diner that has been parking outside of city hall in Providence, R.I. since 1888. What started as a horse-drawn lunch cart is now a stainless steel flatbed, towed by a semi-trailer truck. Providence is actually the birthplace to the diner, and an exhibit to this American icon can be seen at the Culinary Arts Museum at Johnson & Wales University in town.
And though the history is tasty, the best part of Haven Bros. is what comes out of it: Hamburgers, greasy and good, hotdogs with the works, milkshakes blended to perfection. It’s no wonder it’s a favorite for locals from all walks of life.
