Nookies Tree

We’ll admit it: Before we were parents, we never really considered trying the food here when we were sober enough to taste it. The local “chain” of diners has always been a 3am favorite of barhoppers, so we were pleasantly surprised to find that in the light of day, this place can cook. Fruit-filled pancakes and French toast are hits, as are the frittatas (try the combo of bacon, mushroom, Gouda cheese and caramelized onions). It’s a great way to start the day—or end the night.
