Most of the home games are at noon on Sundays, limiting the dining-out choices before the game, but leaving the field wide open afterward. Omelets, eggs Benedict, waffles and special French toast creations are highlights. My pick, though, is an old Nashville tradition, Pancake Pantry in Hillsboro Village. If you can imagine a pancake, you can find it on the extensive list, which includes Georgia peach, Swiss chocolate and apricot-lemon. Waffles in everything from raspberry to chocolate chip to pecan tempt the palate.
Eggs accompanied by ham, steak, sausage and bacon are in plentiful supply.
North to I-440, then exit at 21st Avenue and head in toward Nashville. The Village is hip and fun. After the game, the choices are almost limitless. Started in Nashville as a brewery in 1890, the Gerst Haus opened as a restaurant in 1954 on Second Avenue, downtown Nashville, then moved to Woodland Street. Its new location is at 301 Woodland St., just across from its pre-Adelphia days.
