I have always loved Howard's and it's been there forever. It's a smallish local independent business offfering humble "American" food without a lot of glitz and glamor. Comfort food like meatloaf with mashed potatoes, soup and salad/sandwich, and even their specials make recall a simplier life. Their front window sometimes gets steamed up on rainy cold days/evenings (which to me is always a sign that I want to be inside of that place, not standing outside). It is often crowded, especially at peak meal times. Prices are pretty good for this type of fare. Parking is probably a problem but I always just walk there so I wouldn't know. I hope Howard's never closes and never changes the way it does food.

Pros: Old fashion comfort food in an old fashion no-frill cafe

Cons: Waiting line at peak meal times, not open at 11pm when I get hungry
