Breakfast at Ghini's
If you're like me, the weekends are for sleeping in, and you don't want any restrictions on when breakfast is served. Ghini's French Caffe is now serving weekend breakfast all day, from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays, at 1803 E. Prince Road; 326-9095. Try the garlicky eggs Provencal with a baguette--yum.
