Annie at Toymakers knows how to make a great traditional pot of English tea (in a brown betty no less). If I eat in, that is one thing I make sure to get. And yes, the different waffle varieties are hard to beat (try the real maple syrup - not sure if they even have the other kind). -s1m0n-

Agreed. The best of homemade food, no steam tables filled with soggy prepped food, and if you are tired of getting treated like an unwanted relative at that Canaan diner by the RR tracks, head for Toymakers.
