Do the people who go there tend to keep kosher, or refrain from driving or using electricity on Shabbat? If not, then there probably isn't much of a dress code other than "Don't dress like you're going out clubbing," but more old-fashioned people (like my mother) would say no bare shoulders.
edited to make sense.

According to the Atlanta paper, tomorrow is International Waffle Day.
This observance began in Sweden, when people confused "varfrudagen," which celebrates the annunciation, (when the angel Gabriel told Mary she would be the mother of Jesus) with "vaffeldagen," which means Waffle Day.
I just nitpicked the wording on Tennessee's new women's suffrage monument, which is lacking an important comma. I should get over myself.

Tennessee's new women's suffrage monument
I read this as women's suffrage MOVEMENT, and was all distressed for a minute that there needed to be a movement anew. Whew.

Hil, some folks keep kosher, and I think few people keep to the Shabbat rules. I think it's on the liberal side of traditional, if that makes sense?
I know the kiddo's fam doesn't keep kosher, except High Holidays - they eat pork and seafood, but won't keep bacon or ham in the house. Eh, whatever!

I'd say err on the side of more modest, then -- at least have your shoulders covered, and skirt about knee-length or longer, and no plunging neckline or anything like that -- but no one's going to get worked up about exactly how long your sleeves are, or if your skirt is an inch too short. You shouldn't have to cover your hair, but there might be a stack of lacy thingies and some bobby pins at the entrance -- just look to see if most of the women are putting those on, and follow their lead.

Waffle Day sounds good to me.

And I know there's a Waffle House near your house because Emmett and I went there with you.

Is it appropriate to go to IHOP on International Waffle Day?

They serve waffles and they are international, so I think so.
