Kim Veatch invited me to come with her to Tommy's Diner which is a favorite for her especially when she is working at the furniture bank. So, we made our way down there and found it was an old fashioned family owned diner. It has a classic look with black and white tile floors, red booths and lots of pictures on the wall.
These are Columbus people and you can tell by the pictures of the Buckeyes and other celebrities.
We both ordered the special which was French toast stuffed with cream cheese and strawberries. It was truly decadent, delicious, over the top and well worth the money. We both loved it. We also had coffee which was good but not great.
Tommy's is an established restaurant started in 1989 by Tom Pappas and his wife Kathy. It has a warm and friendly atmosphere and we believe we saw both Tom and his wife working. I would absolutely recommend this for a good breakfast.
Afterwards Kim and I drove downtown and walked along the river. It was a beautiful day to not only get exercise but explore the beauty of Columbus.
After having returned recently from both New York City and Washington I have a new appreciation for the art and history that is present in a city if only we take the time to see it. Here isa sculture called "Celebration of Life" depicting the baby Arthur Boke Junior who was found on a doorstep by Sarah Sullivant. She raised him and he was the first African American resident of Franklinton. It is in front of the new Veteran's Building.
So, it was a beautiful breakfast and a wonderful way to start eh morning with Kim.
