Visitors always ask about breakfast. A handful of spots steal the show for a down-home southern breakfast during the week. Virginia’s on King is one and offers traditional favorites like country-fried steak with eggs and biscuits and gravy. Hominy Grill is another offering organic choices as well. On the lighter side, try the Bagel Shop on George for the best bagels (and good coffee too!). For pastries, try Caviar and Bananas on George St. or Baked on East Bay. Hope and Union at 199 St. Phillip Street is a favorite of locals.
