Bakersfield, California. That's where you'll find the last Woolworth's Luncheonette in America - and it's still serving food!

Eater Los Angeles:

Step into the Five & Dime Antique Mall in Bakersfield, California, and that rarity becomes reality. There, in the back corner at the ground-floor level of the four-story building, is a fully functioning former Woolworth luncheonette counter, complete with 22 counter seats, Formica tables ringing the room, and an open kitchen for griddling burgers and making milkshakes. But this well-protected bit of ephemera isn't cordoned off with Do Not Touch signs - it's still a real, thriving luncheonette counter called the Woolworth Diner, serving police officers, antiquers, and locals daily.

Head over to Eater Los Angeles to see lots of photos of this fifties time capsule.
