After serving as a 22-year-old landmark in Hillcrest, the Corvette Diner will close its doors on April 26, in preparation for a move to Point Loma’s Liberty Station. The eatery, owned by restaurant moguls David and Leslie Cohn, reopens at the new location this summer under the name Corvette Diner and Gamers’ Garage. The expanded venture will feature increased seating capacity, a 5,000-square-foot arcade, three differently themed dining areas and a full cocktail bar for adults. As for the parking crunch we all came to know at the Hillcrest address, the Liberty Station site offers an ample adjacent lot at no charge. 2965 Historic Decatur, www.dinecrg.com.
