last sunday, one of my favorite breakfast places closed after a really legendary run of 53 years. and although we didn't know about the closure, in a flash of life's beautiful serendipity, we decided to head in saturday for some sustenance, and were able to have one last delicious meal. cyndy's house of pancakes (we called it cy-hop) was one of those rare and rapidly disappearing local restaurants that felt like nothing in it ever changed at all, just like my grandparents' house. the decor, the staff, even the menu all felt reminiscent of a different era. doesn't hurt that it's an era i'm really fond of, but either way...
i'll miss the perfect little "dutch babies", the enormous chicken fried steak, the lovely waitresses, and, most of all, that iconic floral wall adornment.
cheers to a wonderful run, cyndy.
love,
j
