Flipper's

If two of your interests happen to be pancakes and the internet, you’ve probably heard of Flipper’s in Soho (known for their soufflé pancakes). Guess what? Their pancakes live up to the hype. The texture is in between a sponge cake and an egg custard, and most people eat them without syrup since they come with maple-flavored cream. (We still like to add syrup.) Surprisingly, the savory dishes like chicken nuggets made with fatty chunks of dark meat and BLT on crusty bread with a thick stack of thinly-sliced bacon are good too. Most of the seating is in the upstairs space, which is filled with windows, a skylight, and a neon “When I flip you flip we flip” sign.
