IHOP is popular nationwide for its late-night service — but for now, we’ll skip the “Rooty Tooty Fresh ’N’ Fruity” breakfast in favor of the Lumberjack Breakfast at the nearby Carroll Gardens Classic Diner on Smith Street.

The only other Brooklyn location for the California-based chain is on Ralph Avenue in distant Flatbush.
