"This old-school diner with formica counters and bolted-down chrome stools has been holding strong in the Pearl District since the ’40s, even though it’s now surrounded by art galleries and brewpubs. Prices have kept up with the times, but 10 bucks still goes pretty far at breakfast, whether you’re looking for pigs in a blanket or solid, no-nonsense eggs, bacon, and hashbrown combos. On weekdays, expect early risers, tourists from nearby hotels, and office workers grabbing a quick lunch." - Krista Garcia
