Poppa Joe's
AMERICAN
(409 Main St; mains $5-7; 11am-8:30pm Mon-Fri, 6am-noon Sat & Sun)
You can't beat the atmosphere at this diner, where trophy heads hang from the wall, the
floors slant at a precarious angle and old men play poker all day. The American-style
breakfasts are good, too - especially the pancakes.
