Yesterday we told you where to get mediocre pancakes for free. Today we tell you where to get excellent pancakes for money. Our longtime favorite for many, many years was Old Devil Moon (now occupied by the well-regarded Northern Spy), which served up heaping plates of irresistible cornmeal pancakes with the fruits and nuts of your choosing. The fruit, of course, was cooked into the pancake, which we have always considered a requisite for any pancake to rise to greatness. Then we met the pancakes at Radegast Hall. And our lives were changed forever.

Beyond Clinton Street: Where To Get The Best Pancakes In NYC
Is The Maple Syrup Smell Back Or Are You Going Crazy?
Is it January 2009 (or October 2005, March 2006, November 2006, November 2007, or May 2008) again, or are you just hallucinating? Or is the air just pre-gaming for tomorrow's National Pancake Day? We received two independent scentings of maple syrup—one on the Upper West Side and one in New Jersey—so we put on our deerstalker hat to investigate.
Free Food Alert: IHOP Celebrates National Pancake Day Tuesday With Pancakes
In much of the world Fat Tuesday, the day before Lent, is also known as Pancake Day (or Shrove Tuesday). But that's the rest of the world. Here in America for some reason we celebrate our Pancake Day the week after. And what better way to celebrate than free pancakes from IHOP?
Midnight In Pancakes: Harlem IHOP Opens With 24-Hour Takeout Window
Finally, we think we understand what Matchbox 20 was getting at when they sang, "It's 3 A.M. I must be craving pancakes." The IHOP in East Harlem which opened last week includes the chain’s first 24-hour takeout window. “People in Harlem don’t sleep,” explained Corey Lawrence, franchise owner of the pancakery on E. 126th Street and Lexington Avenue.
Beloved Breakfast Joint Tom's Restaurant Expanding To Coney Island
Tom's Restaurant, a much-loved Prospect Heights breakfast (and lunch) joint that's been turning out omelets and cherry lime rickeys for the past 70 years, is moving on up to that great big kitchen in...Coney Island. Will the freaks line up for their eggs Florentine?
After 4 Months In Egyptian Prison, Queens Man Wants His IHOP Pancakes
A few days ago, Queens resident and Emory Law student Ilan Grapel was released from Egypt, after Egyptian authorities claimed he was actually an Israeli spy and arrested him in June. While his friends and family have denied the spying allegations, Israel agreed to release 25 Egyptian prisoners in exchange for the 27-year-old. Today, Grapel landed back home in New York and had one thing on his mind: "What I have not had are chocolate chip pancakes from IHOP."
East Village IHOP Needs A Bouncer To Handle All The Drunks
When plans for the East Village IHOP were announced earlier this summer, we prophesied that it would be the number #1 hottest hang for the hordes of drunken kiddos looking to get a little Rooty Tooty Fresh 'n Fruity. But the chain appears to be taking certain...preventative measures to ensure that won't happen, by hiring a bouncer to patrol the pancakes in the wee hours. Seriously.
Move Over Roberta's, IHOP Is Coming To Bushwick!
Bushwick is getting an adorable new pancake house (BYO Artisinal Syrup!). IHOP is making good on their promise to bring 24 of their fine dining establishments to NYC. The East Village has already got their pancake-slinging storefront, and faster than you can say "Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘n Fruity," their Bushwick outpost will soon be fully operational. Today, AnimalNY's own Bucky Turco spotted the progress at the pancake house on Flushing Avenue. Once it opens, don't wait too long to check it out; it's only a matter of time before Sam Sifton drops two stars on the place and it's impossible to get a booth.
Brooklyn IHOP Has Zero Tolerance For Dine And Ditchers
Pancake lovers: do not, we repeat, do not attempt to dine and ditch at that gold standard of global breakfast cuisine, IHOP. Because you will get busted, as these two ladies learned the hard way at the Downtown Brooklyn flapjack emporium this weekend.
There Is A God: IHOP Coming Soon To East Village
Some prophesies are bogus, but not ones emanating from the almighty flapjack oracle IHOP, who last December promised to open 24 stores in New York City in addition to their soul-food slinging location in Harlem. And lookee here: an EVGrieve reader spotted this budding IHOP on 235 E. 14th Street in the East Village. The only rub (besides their Country Fried Steak that's rubbed in that warm country gravy!) is that their website soliciting future employees (IHOPNYC.com) doesn't seem to be working. Their servers must be crashed from the glut of applicants!
Eat AMNH's Dinosaurs For Breakfast
We're going to give Jim the benefit of the doubt and assume he's not using an innocent thing like cooking pancakes for his 3-year-old daughter to, say, gain some internet fame. The two were recently in New York City (presumably shooting a segment on the Rachel Ray Show) and dropped by the American Museum of Natural History, where a new muse was found for the next round of batter: dinosaurs! Want to try it at home? Jim suggests making "all the shapes first then put them together with pancake batter." [via Jezebel]
IHOP Lawsuit: Pancakes vs. Prayer
Everyone knows IHOP (there are plenty in the boroughs) for their pancakes, but what about for their prayer? Yeah, not so much, and they will never be known for their prayer if IHOP has anything to do with it. The pancake house is serving up a hot plate of lawsuit to the International House of Prayer for trademark dilution and infringement. The restaurant has been around since 1973, while the Kansas City church has only been around since 1999... though we're pretty sure Jesus came before the Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity.
