Clover's in Skaneateles opened at 6 a.m. today. (Charlie Miller | cmiller@syracuse.com)
Skaneateles, N.Y. — The seasoned home fries were just starting to sizzle on the shiny new flat-top griddle when Gabe and Graham Morris parked themselves on the bench outside at 5:48 a.m.
They would become the first customers to walk through the front door of Clover’s diner at 6 a.m. Eight other patrons snuck through the back door at the same time. That was a sign that this so-called soft opening wasn’t going to be so soft after all.
