The Mad Hatter

View Larger Map
The Mad Hatter is a fixture of the Ninth Street scene and the building that houses it has a fascinating history, serving as a gas station, a diner, and a site for labor protests. It has recently been profiled by a one of the more popular durham blogs, the Stir Crazy Mom's Guide to Durham, which gave it a fairly positive review but noted that it often gets occupied by laptop wielding Duke students.  A great place for brunch or breakfast and a place of Durham history to boot.
