Main Street’s fiber to lose Big Eddy Diner Comparable restaurant is in the offing NARROWSBURG, NY—Dave’s Big Eddy Diner will soon retire into Narrowsburg’s history. David and Sue Cole will leave the restaurant at 40 Main Street in little more than two weeks. Named after the Delaware River eddy that laps against steep banks below Main Street, the diner has served Narrowsburg as a retail anchor since it opened in the fall of 1999.

On any given day, Cole could easily capture both extremes, preparing perfectly delicious breakfasts and lunches or dinners served on candlelit white tablecloths. | |||||
