This comfortable restaurant is named after the popular mouse puppet that used to appear on "The Ed Sullivan Show" years ago; T-shirts and sweatshirts bearing Topo's image are available for purchase. The place offers some amenities its original location across the street lacked, including more indoor seating and a wonderful outdoor garden area open during clement weather.
