For the party-brunch spectacle, Old Town has options. Daily Dose is the locally owned scratch kitchen you pick when you want the food to be the show — serving neighborhood regulars and the walking wounded of Saturday night with equal patience.
The cinnamon roll pancakes are one order for the table, not one each. Anchor them with the Hangover Sandwich, and note that regulars quietly rank the banana bread French toast higher.
When to go: weekdays, when it’s a walk-in neighborhood cafe. On weekends, beat or dodge the 9:00 AM to noon rush.
