Thanks for the information. Do you know the name?

I thought an Italian restaurant was supposed to go in there.

Has anyone gone into the Alison's 2 site?

I probably overstated. 3rd and Catherine looks like a lunchonette but always clean, though not particularly an atmosphere restaurant.

I had the sof shells at Demitri's last night. The entree was 3 niced sized crabs with sides of escarole and rice for $24. The place is a dump but has great sea food.

I went to Earth bread and brewery last Friday, and had a great Pesto pizza and very good house brewed beer. Across the street I notice a small restaurant called Black Olive, that I was unaware existed. Does anyone have information?

Cochon can get noisey on weekends, but seems to be better during the week. Any small BYOB may have a noise issue but I have had some very good meals there.

Cochon is a good choice

How was Cuba? I had dinner there when they first opened and was not impressed.

Has anyone been to the new restaurant in Chestnut Hill, Soul. It opened a few days ago where Citrus was. I miss Citrus, it was one of the few good places in this area.

Has anyone been to Root the new BYO on Spring Garden. The menu looks interesting, and I wonder what their performance is like.

I plan my trips around great restaurants. I would appreciate any suggestions of can't miss places from fellow hounds. Thanks

You are referring to Cake. Great space dining in an ex-greenhouse. They are open for lunch and Sunday brunch. They serve dinner on Thursdays. I was there for brunch and had very good omlett. It is worth trying.

Philly is known for BYOB's. Sola is a small BYOB about a 10 minute drive up Lancaster Ave. Great food, just check to see if they are open for lunch.

I will be in West Palm this weekend. I am looking suggestions for interesting dining locations. I will eat everything and enjoy interesting and unusual. The rest of the family are "plain eaters". Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Roman Delight on Old York Road in Abington has very good thin crust pizza. I always thougth it was better than Rizzo's in any incarnation. I also like Couch Tomato in Manayunk.

Has anyone been to Sonam? It looks like an interesting place.

A new restaurant opened on South St. I think the name is Sonam. Does anyone have any information.

thanks

My mother used to make a rice pudding baked in the oven with cinnimon and raisins. It was slightly sweet and was firm in texture. On a recent rainy day I started thinking about it. Does anyone have a recipe?

Anyone have info on Cochon the French bisto on Passyunk ave?

I bought some recently at Genuardi's

Have you tried www.dininginfo.com. It offers very recent information and lots of links.

I have the same problem.

I love Citrus. I know they have been trying to sell, so I call after reading your query. According to the tape they were closed for a death in the family and will reopen on Oct 2nd.

Thanks for the information. I love french bistro cooking and miss Pif. I was talking to some foodie friends and they told me Pif has reopened. They must have been referring to the Sunday dinners.

I understand that Pif has reopened. Does anyone have any information?

I'm a fan of Couch Tomato in Manayunk. Very thin crispy crust,flavorful tomato sauce, and good cheese. Parking is a pain but worth the effort.

Thanks for the information. Have a sweet year.

I am having traditional dinner, gefilta fish, matzoh ball soup, and brisket. I would like some ideas for dessert other than the traditional dry honey cake. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.
