I don’t frequent diners, but my son says this one is great. It’s close to shopping mecca, South St. I’d go there for breakfast on my way to do the “Mural Mile” walk or visit Indep. Hall area.

Voted #! for brunch. Hearty Dutch fare, fantastic virgin mary's (bring your own vodka to make it otherwise) My fav are the rueben tots. There is always a wait on the weekends, so run down there, put your name in and your a few blocks away when they call you in half an hour.
