Good news, Manhattan: You're about to get an International House of Pancakes! Can Shoney's be far behind? [Via]

There's already an IHOP in Manhattan, on 135th Street. This is less of a commute for all those East Village pancake lovers, though.
@Dan Stewart@facebook
There's also one in Riverdale, but the kind of people who are apprehensive about 135th Street are positively TERRIFIED of the Bronx.
@City_Dater Afraid to go to Riverdale to get chain restaurant pancakes? That is maximum wuss.
The Gothamist headline read something like "There Is A God" and I was like, uh.
@Maura Johnston: Oh come let us adore them, and smother them in syrup.
@C_Webb More like lord of the flies.
I fail to see how this is all that different from the Howard Johnson's that was a vestige of "old" Times Square lo those many years.
@Setec Astrology That HoJo was dreadful. I hate there by mistake once.
And still no Waffle Houses any further north than Ohio.
@Gef the Talking Mongoose There's one not very far from Harrisburg, PA.
@Gef the Talking Mongoose : The appearance of a Waffle House in Bethlehem, PA gives me hope, though.
@Maura Johnston : *fuels up the car RIGHT NOW*
@Gef the Talking Mongoose The one in Bethlehem is an easy bus ride from the Port Authority Bus Terminal. The Bieber bus stops right across the street. (Yes, you read right, the Bieber bus.)
I've never been to an IHOP without worrying that its state of disarray was due to a natural disaster I hadn't noticed or heard about.
@deepomega Why would you need anything beside House of Pies?
@BadUncle House of PIEEESSS! Oh man, everything on their menu is deep fried, but you really can't go wrong with a place that has that many kinds of pie.
@BadUncle: Sometimes a man needs a flapjack in his mouth.
mmmmmmmmmm, Shoney's breakfast bar!
If they can put a Cracker Barrel in Connecticut why can't they put a man back on the moon?
@My Number Is My Address I want one right off the BQE
Because New York needs a syrup bar?
Should have gone "Restaurant Opens," tsk, tsk.
In the early to mid 1990's Shoney's opened up as far north as Turnersville, NJ. I believe my uncle got arrested there.
@keisertroll : A Shoney's in NJ? Did it, uh, lose its way while migrating or something?
@Gef the Talking Mongoose It was the Shiner Bock of late 1993. They kept pushing it northward until it said NO MAS.
On 14th? Two way streets (just like Staten Island or Queens) don't count as real New York.
What's next? Starbucks?
IHoP is also this hot new neighborhood I'm not telling anyone about just yet.
@hman Let me guess…any place within two minutes walk from an aPple store?
still no Long John Silver :(
