Soft Shell Crab Season
I probably overstated. 3rd and Catherine looks like a lunchonette but always clean, though not particularly an atmosphere restaurant.
Soft Shell Crab Season
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.
black olive
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?
Another BYOB Question
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.
Soul
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.
Root
Has anyone been to Root the new BYO on Spring Garden. The menu looks interesting, and I wonder what their performance is like.
recommendations from chowhounds
I plan my trips around great restaurants. I would appreciate any suggestions of can't miss places from fellow hounds. Thanks
Having a birthday - Solaris Grille?
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.
Lunch near Barnes
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.
West Palm this weekend
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
Pizza in NW Philly, Glenside, Wyncote, Jenkintown . . .
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.
Sonam
A new restaurant opened on South St. I think the name is Sonam. Does anyone have any information.
baked rice pudding
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?
Interactive BYOB Map of Philly
Have you tried www.dininginfo.com. It offers very recent information and lots of links.
Citrus
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.
Pif
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.
Good Pizza in Chestnut Hill/ Mt Airy/ Germantown Area
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.
Dessert for traditional Rosh Hashanna dinner
Thanks for the information. Have a sweet year.
Dessert for traditional Rosh Hashanna dinner
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.
