Get the girls ready to have a great Sunday brunch (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) at The Beauty Shop Restaurant, a former hair salon where Priscilla Presley frequented. The décor is futuristic with a 50s twist. Settle into a booth converted from a hooded Belvedere hair dryer and salivate over the endless options. Try eggs Benedict, chicken and waffles, eggs Sardou or the southern breakfast with country ham, corn fritter, sunny eggs and apple butter.
