Lou's Restaurant

$$

A Hanover tradition since 1947, this diner-cum-café-cum-bakery serves possibly the best breakfast in the valley, with favorites that include blueberry-cranberry buttermilk pancakes, and corned beef brisket hash with free-range poached eggs. Or just grab a seat at the old-fashioned soda fountain for a juicy burger and an ice cream sundae.
