Tom’s Restaurant

Where else can you get a cherry-lime rickey with your Sunday omelette? Come to this kitsch-heavy old-school diner strewn with faux-flower garlands, ’50s-style signs and Christmas lights for morning fuel like featherweight lemon-ricotta pancakes and eggs Benedict, with a dose of soda-fountain goodness. Don’t let the brunch lines, which frequently spill out the door, put you off: The staff hands out orange wedges and chocolate-chip cookies to perk up waiting customers.
