I keep seeing the use of this image in TV and magazines coming from the US so I guess it's a famous image over there.

It's a picture from across the road of a corner dinner with a couple sitting at the bar and a guy serving them. Looks like it could be from the 50s.

Any ideas?

It's called 'Nighthawks'

Thanks! That's the one! Is it quite a popular image in the US? I'ts just I've seen parodies of it like 3 times in the past two weeks.

Back in the day when The Simpsons was still good no less...classic parody there.
