Sunday 7:30 a.m.The Most Important Meal
The Pancake Shop (216 Central Avenue, 501-624-5720) has been a downtown institution since 1940. The no-frills breakfast joint features a long list of comforting morning standards, including savory buckwheat pancakes studded with blueberries ($4.95) and slabs of ham beside eggs cooked your way ($7.35). Sixty years of tradition also means that the Pancake Shop is anything but secret, so arrive before 8 a.m. if you want to avoid a long line.
