“one of the oldest restaurants on wheels”
Haven Brothers Diner in Providence, Rhode Island, is one of the oldest restaurants on wheels in America and was founded in 1888 as a horse drawn lunch wagon.

She named it for her brothers, who helped her with the business. In 1906 Haven upgraded the wagon to a model manufactured by Wilfred Barriere of Worcester, Massachusetts.
