If you're looking for an ultra-casual family restaurant, head to South Street Diner in the Head House Square area. True to its name, the atmosphere is very much a diner, with Formica-topped tables, wooden chairs, counter seating, stained glass lamps, leather booths, and a large menu of Italian and Greek specialties. But unlike other diners, South Street offers a number of top-quality, homemade desserts made in their own bakery.
