Futurama Comics
This one comes form a comic book by Simpsons creator Matt Groening. The comic is titled Bongo's Futurama Comics, and this is from issue #33. It features the characters from the comic at the "Microverse" Diner.

Another Sesame Street parody. I do not know who this one is by. The diner is now shown as "Morgan 17".

Tom's Diner
This one confuses me a bit. The webmaster of http://www.dont-panic.net describes it as "a tribute to Hopper, Schlemmer and Vega". It is titled Tom's Diner.

Elephant
This homage was done by artist Alexander Rinesch. Alex is known for his characters Mouse ”Cheese“, elephant ”Little“ and cat ”Sugar“. They became popular as ”Free Cheese & Company“ and are depicted having dinner at the diner here. The shop across the street has lots of stuff in the window.

Night "Hawks"
In a more literal interpretation, this photoshop parody has actual hawks at the diner. A mouse acts as the attendant.

Mark Kostabi
Famous artist Mark Kostabi painted a few versions of the diner one year prior to teh "bouldvard of Broken Dreams" homage. They all feature his iconic style of white silhouette figures placed in the scene.
His first is called "Greenwich Ave". I found two versions of this.


His second is called "Hell Cafe", and has a red-ish tone to the whole painting.

Mark's home page can be found here.

Second Life
This is another 3D version created for the online game "Second Life. The game lets you create yourself in a virtual world and interact with other people from around the real world. This recreation of the scene can evidently be found in some place called the "Primtings Museum".

Cowboy Bebop
Here is one featuring the cast of the popular Japanese Anime Cartoon "Cowboy Bebop". I do not know the character names as I do not watch the show myself.

Goofy's Greasy Spoon
This is a Disney parody that is currently on display at both Disneyworld and Disneyland. IT can be found in Minnie's House along with other various Disneyed-up paintings. It has Donald Duck, Mickey and Minnie and Goofy as the attendant. The diner's name has been changed to "Goofy's Greasy Spoon" and there is an anvil and safe company across the street.
