LOFTY PURSUITS – American
Part toy shop, part working Victorian candy kitchen, part full-blown American soda fountain - Lofty Pursuits on Market Street is all three at once, and the candy is pulled and cut in the front of the store where anyone can watch. The kitchen opens at seven: grits bowls, omelets built on Bradley's sausage, waffles and French toast, a Monte Cristo, a Reuben, shrimp and grits, burgers. Then the fountain takes over, with dozens of ice creams, a Brooklyn egg cream, phosphates and a sundae list running 52 deep. Families come for the spectacle and stay for a real meal.
