Openings and Closings

Do you crave pancakes? If so the Brownstone Diner Pancake Factory has opened at 860 River Road, Edgewater (201-945-4800). Omelets, a variety of egg benedicts, pancake wraps, French toast, Belgian waffles as well as lunch and dinner items are available on their extensive menu.

A few of the “rules” listed on the menu are:

“Take a seat with us, our minimum charge per patron is $3. Better off. Just always come hungry.

Since we are in Edgewater, not the Jersey Shore, you will need shoes & a shirt for service.

No separate checks or splitting checks. One check per table. Just take turns paying for one another!”
