Major changes appear in store for IHOP Way, aka 14th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue.

Per the Post today:

IHOP says it’s changing its name to IHOb, and it will explain why on Monday.

The 60-year-old franchise’s coy announcement was made on Twitter on Tuesday.

“For 60 pancakin’ years, we’ve been IHOP. Now, we’re flippin’ our name to IHOb. Find out what it could b on 6.11.18. #IHOb”

Grub Street weighs in on the marketing gimmick here.

This IHOP location opened in September 2011.

  6. International House of Bagels; if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

    Maybe they'll serve both New York and Montreal-style (à la Black Seed.)

  7. I don't want to read Grub St. it's obvious the one-time decent pancake chain restaurant is pulling some social media stunt with the new and visiting high rolling dimwits populating your town.

    Any news that the chain got a liqour permit, maybe the b stands for beer. This might be a job for the night mayor.
