Louie Louie Bistro & Bar located at the Inn at Penn across from the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania opened a couple of months ago to much fanfare and with good reason.

Ardiente is the hot new bi-level lounge and Latin-Asian fusion restaurant located at 33 S. 2nd Street in Old City. It took nearly two years to open with no expense spared on the gorgeous interior. In fact, I was surprised at how much painstaking work was put into even the smallest details and all of … Continue reading
This review was submitted by @GothLauren. Nestled in a little shopping center off of Bethlehem Pike and Germantown Avenue in Historic Chestnut Hill Philadelphia, Banjara Indian Bistro is a warm and inviting Indian BYO located at the top of the hill. Warm tapestries and beading invites the diner inside without feeling too overdone or garish. The menu … Continue reading

When you first walk in, you are greeted with a sparse, modern interior. The entryway is a collage of Japanese cartoons that open into dark wood and chalkboard walls. It’s a very simplistic set up with … Continue reading

Like most local food products, I initially discovered Mompops on Twitter. Not sure if I started following them first or they started following me first, but they caught my attention either way. Finding dairy-free frozen treats always makes the lactose-intolerant in me happy! Last month when I was at Whole Foods Cherry Hill, I happened … Continue reading
We were beyond honored to receive an invitation to dine at Phillips Seafood at The Playground (formerly The Pier Shops at Caesars) in Atlantic City. Having experienced Phillips’ Baltimore Inner Harbor location many years ago, we jumped at the chance to travel down to AC to dine at what is one of America’s most authentic and iconic seafood … Continue reading
