Polly's Pancake Parlor

Four Meals Worth a Road Trip This Fall | Eater Boston

"Set by the White Mountains and run by the Dexter family since 1938, this time-warp tea-house-turned-pancake-parlor serves a heavenly pancake sampler in full (six) or half (three) stacks with a dizzying array of batters — plain, buckwheat, cornmeal, gluten-free cornmeal rice, gingerbread, oatmeal buttermilk, and whole-wheat — and add-ins like blueberries, walnuts, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips so the flavor permutations feel endless. A neat quirk: buckwheat, cornmeal, and wheat flours are ground on-site and servers griddle the pancakes before they hit your plate; be sure to visit the shop to bring home pancake mix, maple syrup, and other goodies." - Nathan Tavares
