Sorry, 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.
