And yes, you can grab a legendary "Cheeseburger in Paradise" here and not get indigestion when you see the surprisingly modest bill.

Locals and visitors mingle over drinks at this landmark bar, which is a good breakfast option, too. The service can be slow, though, so it's best if you're not in a hurry.
