Daley’s Restaurant

Depending on how you look at it, Daley’s restaurant has been around since 1892 or 1937 (the first date reflects the original opening date of the restaurant; the second, the current incarnation). Either way, it’s one of the oldest restaurants in the city. But there’s no time for this homey diner to dwell on the past—the space bustles with a mix of Woodlawn locals and U. of C. students, especially in the mornings, when they gather for the ethereal Belgian waffles (offered with a side of juicy chicken wings), hearty Denver omelettes and warm, buttery biscuits.
