Have a retro day in Boston

Detention never tasted so good Posters and photos of old friends Ferris Bueller, the Goonies, and Baby (far from the corner, of course) line the walls of the stainless steel Breakfast Club diner. Snag one of six coveted booths or a stool, order breakfast or a shake to share, and tap your toes to Billy Ocean as friendly waitresses refill the coffee mugs, hon. The 'Library Specials' section of the menu features dishes named after archetypal '80s movie characters, like the 'Princess' (think Molly Ringwald in 'The Breakfast Club'): a Belgian waffle topped with seasonal fruit and whipped cream ($6.79). Leave with Simple Minds stuck in your head for days 270 Western Ave., Allston. 617-783-1212. www.dinetheory.com/tbc
