Free pancakes at IHOP

IHOP’s National Pancake Day celebration Tuesday is a sweet ploy to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network and other charities. From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., enjoy a free short stack of three buttermilk pancakes—just be sure to donate some cash to the CMN or your favorite charity while you’re in the restaurant. Last year IHOP raised more than $875,000, and this year they’re raising the bar—er, stack—to $1 million. Help them out by visiting one of four locations: 3006 College Dr., 3680 Harding Blvd., 6875 Siegen Ln., or 2260 Home Depot Dr. in Denham Springs.
