Think of all the things you want in a neighborhood bar:
A mix of cute interesting (with a little attitude) waitresses, funny smart bartenders, a good but not overwhelming beer selection, a notch above the ordinary bar food, well-placed TVs to cheer…More »
Don't give me crap but I only come here on Fridays with the occasional Saturday. I show up at 10:15pm, wait for them to clear the "main floor" of tables and then dance till 1:59am. The music promptly shuts off, the lights shine on, exposing everybody…More »

This is my neighborhood bar. Meaning, this is the bar I show up in my sweatpants and (politically incorrect) wifebeater. I always bypass the first floor after the obligatory ID show, momentarily stop at the second floor to get the fabulous $3 PBR,…More »
Saturday night review!
Obviously a "dive" bar like all the reviews say. The city-wide or "Philly special" is the drink to order: for $3.50 you get a PBR and a shot of whiskey. Sometimes the whiskey tastes watered down, sometimes it kicks you in the…More »
3 and 1/2 stars but per usual I always round up on everything including my bra cup size.

2) huge church with an equally large congregation…More »

Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Rittenhouse Square
i spent the weekend going to different froyo places and this place wins on yogurt taste alone. Absolutely the richest-- like soft serve ice cream. I'm a flavor type of girl so I was disappointed in not having the choice of froyo flavors, but the…More »
Dress Like You Made a Resolution to Work Out More (4)Yadda yadda need to lose weight blah blah blah....Day 1. think about if losing 20lbs is even reasonable. Day 2. Shop for workout clothes.

Wisdom Teeth Remedy: Frozen Treats (10)They yanked all four wisdom teeth out of my head and then expected me to subsist on pudding and jello. A milkshake saved my temper and what followed was seven days* of eating ice cream or frozen yogurt twice a day to assuage my swollen mouth.*currently on 7 days... may continue for another 7... if not shamed into stopping |
