It's never too late for pancakes, and PJ's stands by that notion by serving breakfast all day. With fifteen different types of pancakes listed on their menu, ranging from classics like old fashioned buttermilk and silver dollar pancakes to twists like pigs in a blanket and peanut butter & chocolate chip pancakes, there is definitely something for everyone here. PJ's also has the standards of any good pancake house, including eggs, omelets, and even a regular lunch/dinner menu, but who are you kidding? You're just there for the pancakes.
Friedman's Lunch
75 9th Avenue (Chelsea Market)
New York, NY 10011

Nestled inside Chelsea Market among plenty of other lunch options, Friedman's doesn't use gimmicks or try very hard to stand out. They offer sandwiches, fish tacos, burgers – all pretty standard lunch items. But they quietly do each of these well, so anyone deciding to give them a try is pleasantly surprised – and you should be. The kitschy decor of an old time diner invites you in to sit for a bit and enjoy your meal, watching the people as they pass by in the bustling Chelsea Market. Don't miss their housemade potato chips – crunchy and well-seasoned, these are sure to leave you reaching for more.
