Cheap Eats 2006

With all of the food choices in the Mississippi District, it can be easy to overlook this little cafe. But Muddy's is well worth the stop—it's warm, it's comforting, it's inexpensive and the food is damn good. Though it bills itself as a coffeehouse, it has an all-day breakfast and lunch menu that offers far more than standard coffee shop fare, with a mouth-watering tuna melt ($5.75) and an absolutely perfect cinnamon-infused French toast ($4.75). Its quirky atmosphere makes you feel like you're gathering in your friend's living room—and it won't take long before you realize that, actually, you are. (LP)
