Bedford Stuyvesant, East Williamsburg, Bushwick, Brooklyn

The very first International House of Pancakes opened its doors in Toluca Lake, California back in 1958 with the noble aspiration of serving hot breakfast to a hungry nation nearly two decades before colloquially shortening their name to IHOP. Now, more than 1,000 franchises populate all the country's states and territories, whipping up lunch and dinner alongside signature breakfast dishes such as the Rooty Tooty Fresh N' Fruity, a pancake stack topped with a hot fruit compote that spells out seven more words that rhyme with "fruity."
