50's Prime Time Cafe

Pull up a vinyl chair and get ready for blue-plate special fare (and possibly some sassy backtalk from your waitress), the 50's Prime Time Cafe hearkens back to the era of ducktails, poodle skirts and TV dinners — and if you get a TV table, you can actually enjoy clips from the black-and-white classics of early broadcasting circa 1955. Chow down on mom-style pot roast, meatloaf and other comfort fare and pop into the Tune-In Lounge next door for a host of kitschy selections from "Dad's Liquor Cabinet." And the dessert menu? Best perused via an old-school viewfinder toy. Pass the time waiting for ice cream trying to explain to your kids why these are cooler than their Nintendo DS.
