Old City
We know that it’s been a while since we’ve published a podcast or post, but Tushar and I have been undergoing intensive relationship counseling for over two years and we think that it’s worked… As a result, we’re excited to get back into exploring some of the more obscure restaurants around Philly and having a lot of fun doing it.
Does this mean that we haven’t explored any new spots in the last two years? Definitely not. Some of our favorite meals occurred at spots like:
Southwark – A Perennial Favorite. We Love the Farmhouse Platter and Rye Manhattans
Sabrina’s Cafe (South Philly) – Great Breakfast Spot. Sit at a Sidewalk Table for People Watching
National Mechanics (Old City) – The Sunday Bloody Mary Bar is Awesome
So while these may be a bit more mainstream, they’re all fun and delicious nonetheless. Dig in an we’ll be popping out some podcasts & posts soon!

Last week’s Philly Food Blogger Meetup gave us an opportunity that we couldn’t ignore: corner some of our favorite food bloggers to uncover a few of their “secret spots.” So after a few beverages, we sat down to chat about some of their favorite lesser-known restaurants. In fact, we were lucky enough to get so many recommendations that we made two episodes. This week we’ll cover Zahav and Modo Mio.

Old City’s Beneluxx Tasting Room is a fun and interesting place to visit if you’re interested in trying different types of Belgian beer, wine, cheese and chocolate. Situated just around the corner from its big brother Eulogy, Benelux offers a unique format featuring 2 ounce tastes of its draft beers and wine, as well as tastes of its artisan cheeses and chocolates. Beneluxx also offers a limited menu of appetizers and pub grub, but I think that the tasting format is what makes this place different.
Indian lunch buffets can offer some of the best food around, so in honor of Diwali we set out to sample some of the better Indian lunch buffets in Philadelphia to find our favorite. With Tushar at the helm (God save us), we’ve chosen a few promising candidates to investigate.
“What’s Diwali?” Trust me, don’t ask. Answers vary, so be satisfied with learning more about Diwali at Wikipedia.

Tucked among the storefronts, jewelry designers and diamond merchants of Philly’s Jewelers’ Row, Tampopo 2 offers Pan Asian food perfect for lunch or dinner. Spawned from a successful sister restaurant located on South 21st street, Tampopo 2 offers primarily Japanese and Korean food in a clean, comfortable environment.

As the hot and steamy days of summer draw to a close, we finally made it to Old City’s Franklin Fountain, and it was really worth the wait. Situated on a corner adjacent to the Market Street walkway to Penn’s Landing, the Franklin Fountain replicates a turn-of-the-century soda fountain and ice cream parlor.
