| Jow's Garden | Philadelphia, PA | |

An unusual combination - Thai and Italian. Very nice decor, good
service. They also have a food truck on Penn's campus.

| Abner's of University City | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
Best Philly cheesesteaks west of the Schuylkill. The atmosphere
isn't great - it's a college hangout mostly - but steaks are always
delicious.

| City Garden Chinese Restaurant | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
Better than average chinese food in a convenient location downtown.
A good place to meet friends for lunch or dinner.

| Philadelphia Inn | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
Worth it just to sit in the back garden in the spring or summertime.
Good selection and service, very nice atmosphere.

||
| Stix | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
I believe Stix was closed by its owner who opened a new Dmitri's
on its location. The same thing happened to Pamploma. There are
now three Dmitri's.

| Keyflower Dining Room | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
Keyflower is run by the Father Divine people and is inside the
Divine Tracy hotel. People around here love to go there for the
healthy food and low price. You have to follow some rules, though.
I believe women can't wear pants and you have to greet the staff
by saying "Peace."

| Palladium Restaurant & Bar | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
The outside area was always the spot for the "beautiful people"
ate Penn to be seen. Inside is an elegant bar and restaurant with
very good food - dark wood paneling, oriental rugs.
|
||
| Caribou Cafe | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
A gathering for Philadelphia's French community. Great food
and atmosphere - warm and friendly.
|
||
| Le Bus | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
Started out in a bus on Penn's campus, Le Bus grew into a popular
buffet style restaurant selling natural foods. Although Penn's
Le Bus closed a few years ago the one in Manayunk is even larger
and offers a variety of homemade breads and a full selection of
interesting, healthy foods.
|
||
| North Star Bar | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
Great food but not for those looking for quiet - there are regular
band performances here that can be pretty loud. But worth a trip
if want to eat great food and listen to music.

||
| Thai Singha House | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
Elegantly decorated delicious thai restaurant near the University
of Pennsylvania's campus. Food is both tasty and well presented.
Desserts are especially good, although more western than thai.

| Dahlak | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
My favorite restaurant in the world! If you haven't tried Ethiopian
food try Dahlak first!

| Louie's Charcoal Pit | Teaneck, NJ | |
|
This was our high school hangout and probably still is for current
Teaneck High School students. Always great for burgers or more
substantial meals and they made good milkshakes.

| Astral Plane | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
Always a favorite place to take out of town guests -great food
and atmosphere is more than charming. I've never seen anything
like it. More Victorian than 60s as the above reviewer notes.

||
| Tequila's | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
My friend from Mexico City says that this is the only place to have
authentic Mexican food in Philadelphia and maybe in the region.
Hasn't changed over the years -still always excellent.
|
||
| White Dog Cafe | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
Unique -a restaurant but also very socially conscious - have
many speakers, classes, trips. Worth a visit. Also see the Black
Cat store adjoining.

| Pamplona Restaurant | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
Unfortunately this restaurant closed -there is a new Dmitri's
in its place which is also very good.
|
||
| Zocalo | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
Unusual, tasty flavor combinations, always delicious. Nice
comfortable atmosphere and friendly servers.
|
||
| Painted Parrot Cafe | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
A great place to stop after a movie for unusual and attractive
desserts. They are now serving meals as well.
|
||
| Entree Express Restaurant | Philadelphia, PA | |
|
They are a food delivery service -they deliver food from many
restaurants. I used to really enjoy their service until they
changed their policy and excluded my zip code from their service.
Not sure why they did this.
