HILARIOUS!!! I mean, I'm sorry for the ill-effects you had to endure, but this was a funny read. I've featured it for all to see - and take heed to your smart advice to AVOID TACO HELL at all costs. :)
I must have some spatzle (I pronounce it spetz-ul cuz I'm a dork) soon!
Whole Foods used to make a killer sandwich: Sliced turkey, pepper jack cheese, avocado slices, tomato, a green (I preferred alfalfa sprouts) with chipotle mayo on a whole grain bread. I miss their sandwich making area. Why they thought we need ano...

Fans of restaurants, cafes, delis, eateries, etc. located in Fairmount/Art Museum area.
Bars, cocktail lounges, dives... for drinks or grub, these places offer great libations whatever your fancy.
An absolutely killer avocado sandwich can be found at Cavanaugh's on Sansom between 18th and 19th. It's the Turkey Avocado Club...a club sandwich with sliced avocado...PLUS a side of tater tots. Seriously, how can you go wrong? :D

Lucky's Chinese on Baltimore Avenue - West Philly
I have asked a few people what, if any, good Chinese is in the Cedar Park-Clark Park area. My roommate said the only one she goes to, that is close by, is Lucky’s because it’s “fairly clean, and you can see what they are doing in the back.” Fair enough.
So yesterday, I was nursing a sinus infection. I was hungry, but not ravenous. Without a clue of what I really want or should have, I just figure Chinese food would suffice. I went down, ordered wanton soup, spring roll, and lo mein noodles. The… Continue

Chrissy said… - Hi Marilyn,
Thank you for the welcome. I found this site thru PhillyBlog, and I'm so glad I did! I love almost any kind of food, so I'm usually game for new restaurants. I love mexican food, so the Taqueria La Veracruzana on Washington Ave is a favorite, as well as Tacos Lucas in the northeast. St Stephen`s Green in Fairmount is a new favorite of mine too.
Again, thanks for the welcome!

Sherry said… - Karin and I also go to Krakaus Market a polish market http://www.krakusmarket.com/
I has great homemade perogies and sausage, etc. There is a restaurant in the market with all homemade food that for two people you will stuff your face and take home a bunch for 25.00...if that. Yum!!
Also, Riekers http://www.riekersmeats.com/home/ and then lunch up the street at the Austrian Village http://www.austrianvillage.com/
My 21 yr old son asked if he could move in upstairs at Reikers when I took him there. Look at the food they sell. My ex is a chef(and german) and shops there.
