The resolution designates October 1 of each year as "New Jersey Diner Day" to celebrate the state's rich diner culture and history. New Jersey is recognized as the "Diner Capital of the World," with a diner history that began in the early 20th century alongside the rise of the automobile. The resolution highlights the contributions of the OMahony brothers, who transitioned from operating lunch wagons to becoming significant figures in the diner-building industry. The state's strategic location between Philadelphia and New York City facilitated the development of a robust transportation network, making New Jersey's 24-hour diners popular destinations for both commuters and locals seeking affordable meals.

The resolution calls upon the Governor to issue an annual proclamation for New Jersey Diner Day and encourages public officials, private organizations, and citizens to engage in awareness activities and programs to honor this day. With approximately 525 diners, New Jersey boasts the highest number of diners in any state, underscoring their importance to the state's economy and cultural identity. The resolution aims to recognize and celebrate the vital role diners play in New Jersey's heritage.
