Expect everyone from neighborhood regulars who always order the baked meatloaf to hipster night owls stopping in for post-bar- crawl burgers and mozzarella sticks. Be warned: it’s hard to resist the temptation of the dessert case, with its rotating assortment of sweets like banana cream pie, tiramisu, and Oreo cheesecake -- and the added scoop of ice cream goes without saying."

Go-to order: I love the grilled cheese (extra grilled with one slice of mozzarella and a sprinkle of feta, plus tomato and ketchup on the side) (I’m Sally from When Harry Met Sally), and if someone else gets fries, there’s no stopping me from stealing a few."

"Is there anything better than late night pancakes at an old diner?. Kellogg’s certainly doesn’t seem to think so, and neither do we."
