Eating Out

Sang Kee Peking Duck House

A modest-looking establishment on the edge of Philadelphia's Chinatown, but one of the best Chinese restaurants in the city. The food is outstanding, service is fast, and it's quite cheap. I went there regularly when I was in college, and revisit every chance I get. The restaurant was renovated a few years ago, and replaced its crowded formica-and-linoleum grittiness for something brighter and friendlier; fortunately, they didn't touch the food.

Chiangmai

While visiting Philadelphia, make time for some authentic Thai food at Chiangma. It’s in the suburbs of Philly, but worth the trip. The eatery is not too big in size, but highly popular with locals and travelers alike. It’s a good idea to make a reservation if dining on a Friday or Saturday night. Enjoy reasonable prices for dishes like Thai Basil, Chu Chee duck, Fried Rice and Chicken Satay. Be sure and order the sweet Thai iced tea, which is frothy but the coconut milk maks it silky-smooth. Start your meal with one of their tasty soups like the lemongrass or chicken coconut more..

Pink Rose Pastry Shop

A quiet, charming shop one block south of the bustling South Street scene.

New feedback - Overpriced for quality and size of portions. $5.50 for a tiny piece of Pumpkin Cheesecake that is stale?? Please.  Pluses are that they are open late at night and there is a large selection, plus the breakfast is a good deal.

Jones

Jones is Philly's premiere restauranteur, Stephen Starr's, restaurants. It is exquisitely decorated, and yet completely comfortable. The menu is hearty American, with items such as Chicken & Waffles, and Macaroni and Cheese. Of all Starr's restaurant, this is the most casual, with patrons comfortable in jeans. Click the url for a list of all his restaurants. I also recommend Buddakan for Japanese and El Vez for Mexican. The Continental in Olde City is also fantastic way to start a Friday in the city. (These are all more expensive than Jones, and require slightly nicer dress).

DiNardo's Famous Crabs

The best, freshest and tastiest seafood is found at DiNardo's Famous Crabs, an eatery that has received the "best of Philly" award from Philadelphia Magazine nine times. It's not just crabs that beckon the diner here, although there are many and each one tastier than another. Beside the succulent blue crabs, scallops sizzle the palate as do the flounder and red snapper platters. Housed in an old red brick building, DiNardo's is among the best of Philadelphia restaurants. For those who aren't into fish, there are steak and chicken entrees that will definitely please.
