Eat'n Park

Saturday we were headed up to New York to see family and decided it was finally time to hit Eat'n Park for breakfast. It's a family restaurant based in Pittsburgh. The franchise began in the South Hills in 1949, with the business model that customers could drive their car and park at the restaurant, while being waited on by waitresses on roller skates. Today, the franchise has nearly 100 locations, and has become an indoor-dining family restaurant with some locations open 24 hours a day. The franchise's mascot is "Smiley", a walking smiley face, and Eat'n Park is well-known for its trademark Smiley Cookies, which are frosted sugar cookies with smiley faces drawn on them in icing. Because it was Super Bowl weekend for the Steelers, we bought the Steeler themed cookies to take to family.
