The diner itself is gone, and a branch of the North Jersey Community Bank sits in its place. From across the street, however, you can still see an old sign for the Skyline parking lot; it's at the edge of the overhanging roof that shelters the bank's drive-though customers.
Closer inspection also reveals a much fainter sign, rimmed in blue, for Anthony's Barber Shop. You can still get your hair cut next door, but it's a fellow named Gale who has his name on the awning.

In 1975 we lived in that apt. building! and I did get my haircut at Anthony's. What a small world.
