By CityBeat Staff

No. 9 Best Breakfast: Blue Jay Restaurant 4154 Hamilton Ave., Northside This homey Northside diner has been owned and operated by the Petropoulos family since 1967. Stepping inside is almost like stepping back in time with the row of cozy booths, wood paneling on the walls and the dining counter. The menu features classic breakfast and lunch dishes that come in generous portions, as well as Cincinnati-style chili. Menu recommendation: The Northsider: A 3-Way omelet with cheddar cheese and chili that you can also build up to a 7-Way by adding onion, tomatoes, peppers and/or beans.
