If you are in your 20's and looking for a scene this is it. It gets packed. It's called "The Local" but we suspect it mostly out of towners. You might spot your neighbors from Arizona here. Ha!

Cheap breakfast and the portion size is huge! If you get there after 9 am expect a line down the block and a wait of at least 30 minutes. But its all part of the scene! Wait in line, order, then find a seat. They bring the food out to you. We recommend the patio seating on the other side of the boardwalk just past the souvenir shop. (20 min walk/10 min bike away.)
