Ditto for Joe's - but another good spot is Pietro's - on Walnut at 18th Street

What location? If in the 17th and Market vicinity there is Smith and Willensky, XIX (Nineteen) in addition to the others mentioned

La VIta Bella is pretty good for lunch - I work in the city but have been there on the weekends for lunch - might be a bit out of the way depending on where your office is located. Not much else comes to mind...

Went with a group - my dinner - the rib-eye was excellent - no one else seemed to enjoy theirs however.....not worth a second try

Davio's should be on your short list also - excellent service, food and atmosphere

They are good, unlike your typical mass produced bagels. Almost bialy like - they have no preservatives and don' t last long. You can freeze them but won't be as good as right out of the oven. If you are going - get the Challah - better than the bagels...now that is worth the drive. Other stuff ok - not really a destination bakery other than the breads. They are in the town of Elkins Park - not sure of their hours....good luck

I have been to the fireside - was told I'd have a 20 minute wait - ended up being 80 minutes. Food was salty, cold and unappetizing. When I attempted to talk to the manager he asked me what I knew about running a restaurant - a real nice guy. I suppose it was crowed because everyone was just waiting for a table. If I wanted to wait that long I would have gone to Arpeggio up the street for excellent food - plus smoke free (unlike this dive) and a BYOB as well. Keep driving on Bethlehem Pike - there are better places to go.
