Gaston's Tavern

If you’re looking for a cheap and quick lunch, go to Gaston’s Tavern for the $12 and colossal ham and cheese sandwich. You’ll see lots of people carrying heavy plates of caramel-drenched cinnamon rolls, but the better snack is the grey stuff cupcake that’s topped with fluffy cookies and cream frosting and crispy pearls. Take it outside and picnic at the fountain just in front of the restaurant—bonus points if you break out in song to complain about egg-based inflation.
