Some think it was a diner. Michael Perlin recalls the actual restaurant, the New Brunswick Lunch known as the NBL, popular with students then, on Albany Street, the restaurant closest to the train station. Not a Chinese restaurant, and not really a diner in the traditional sense.
The place is variously given, often simply guessed, as New Brunswick, New Jersey or wrongly Brunswick, New York or Trenton New Jersey or…
Nearby George Street, New Brunswick, New Jersey has often been mentioned. Other wrong guesses: Silver Meteor Diner, near the train station, was later? Stroms Diner, across from the train station, later called the B & L, Brunswick Lunch was later? Somerset Diner (1045 Easton Avenue, Somerset, NJ 08873) was later? Locals say in 1965 there was only one Chinese restaurant in New Brunswick, an upstairs restaurant which did not look like this.

might be a likely concert this could be after? But Johnny Cash played a concert in Kitchener Ontario 10 February 1965!

It is a puzzling one as you will see reading the linked information… At least we know the restaurant and that it could not have been 10 February 1965, the night of the Rutgers concert.
