TastyPals Editorial Pick
PS
Priya Sharma
Dining Editor
“Don't leave Paperboy East without trying the buttermilk pancakes. Properly thick, properly light, with a cultured butter that doesn't melt instantly — a version that makes the wait worth it. Arrive early on weekends or expect a short wait — worth it. Walk-ins are generally fine, though weekend brunch lines move quickly.”
