Day 13: Have breakfast at Al's Breakfast

Al's Breakfast is located in Minneapolis's Dinkytown district, and serves up legendary breakfasts diner-style in a tiny 14-seat restaurant built in a former alley way. At 10 feet wide, this tiny storefront isn't for large crowds, but offers legendary waffles, buttermilk pancakes, and omelets that some assert are the best they've ever had. They don't have an official website that we've found, but they can be contacted at 612-331-9991. Open until 1 p.m. daily, so you only have a few hours of the day to make it in. And I guarantee you won't be the only one who thought of it. Ready? GO!!
