- marnett 3y agoMaryland is usually referred to as the mid-Atlantic. Technically speaking, MD is South of the Mason-Dixon line, so it’s in the south. I say this as a Marylander myself.
- InitialLastName 3y agoThere may be a couple in Northeast PA (and others in Pennsyltucky), but those parts of PA aren't usually thought of as part of the Northeast US.
- galdosdi 3y agoSorry, I should've said there are "essentially" none. The two towns, Lancaster and Allentown, in PA with Waffle Houses, are kind of exceptions that prove the rule. They are special rarities -- the northern waffle house, like the jumbo shrimp. But Waffle House in its true environment is no more a rarity than an orange in Florida. Its commonness is an inherent part of its charm. Technically, it's possible a northerner could drive a few hours to get to a Waffle House. But the whole point and charm of Waffle House is its ubiquity. Anytime, anyplace: just past the next offramp and open 24 hours. It is not a planned destination, it's ... just where yall end up. And so no, while technically there's a couple waffle houses north of the mason dixon, those in the know would agree there isn't really waffle house in the north, regrettably.
