GREEN RIVER, Wyo. (1010 WINS) -- The Moondance Diner made it safely through a 2,100-mile trek west from New York City last summer, but the roof of the famed eatery was damaged by snow during the bitter Wyoming winter.
The diner's owners Cheryl and Vince Pierce said they'll continue renovating the space after parts of the roof and walls were damaged Thursday, the Casper Star-Tribune reported. The couple hopes to open the restaurant later this year in LaBarge, a town of about 500 at the base of the Rocky Mountains, where the diner now sits.

They bought the 74-year-old diner for $7,500 and trucked it to Wyoming last year, saving it from the wrecking ball after a developer bought the diner's site for luxury condominiums. It was located near the Holland Tunnel entrance in lower Manhattan.
The Moondance, originally called the Holland Tunnel Diner, was recognized as a place where celebrity revelers sometimes showed up for breakfast, and as a location for scenes in "Spider-Man," "Friends" and "Sex and the City."
