The Original Pancake House
On Sunday mornings, the line outside Hyde Park’s Original Pancake House spills into the parking lot. This breakfast staple has been slewin’ hash browns, eggs and bacon to neighborhood folk for years. The restaurant is so popular, they have to seat different parties together at the same table. So while you chow down on your crepes and pancakes, rub elbows (literally—space is tight!) with your friendly neighbors. Students, families and churchgoers in their Sunday best chat about the weather, the latest news and last night’s “SNL.”
