2. List out your top 5 favorite places to eat at your location. (full disclosure: I eat out a lot, which is why I’m too fat).
Monk’s Cafe (Philadelphia, PA) – Bar none, one of the best Belgian Beer Bars on the east coast. I could drink the house Flemmish Sour Ale all day long (well, if after the fifth or sixth I wouldn’t be falling down drunk, that is). The menu has a lot of good stuff, including your standard mussels, wild game, and some good sausages. There’s also some good hippy food on there if you are going out with hippies. Desserts are very good.
Ludwig’s Garden (Philadelphia, PA) – Great selection of German beer and German fare. I usually get the Wurst Platte.
Tamarindo’s (Blue Bell, PA) – Small Mexican restaurant, run by real Mexicans. The food is Yucitan, which includes their fish dish, which is a whole grilled red snapper. Prices are reasonable, quality is high, and the absolute best part: free margaritas. They do not have a liquor license, but Pennsylvania law allows anyone to give away liquor, and they do. They aren’t watered down too much either. If I have three, I’m feeling it pretty good. They will come refill your margarita glass like you’re drinking water. You can’t beat that!
Issac Newton’s (Newtown, PA) – American cuisine. Their burgers are quite good. I usually like the Issac’s Fancy Burger, which is a burger served with brie and shitake mushrooms. Issac Newton’s also has one of the best beer selections outside of Philadelphia, including many fine Belgians.
Thai Orchid (Blue Bell, PA) – I’m a big fan of Thai food, and this is my favorite place to get it. I used to frequent it for lunch so often the waiter’s and waitresses knew me. Lunch prices are reasonable enough to frequent regularly, and the food is good.
I’m leaving a lot of good places off. Like, the best Chinese food in the region is the pretty upscale Lai Lai’s, in Blue Bell. Anyways, now you have some places to eat if you’re ever in the Philadelphia area. I’ll tag Bitter, Countertop, and Pro-Gun Progressive. I need some good food ideas for that area.
Remind me to get restaurant recommendations from you. We’re going to Philly to see the King Tut exhibit in July.
4 out of the 5 places mentioned has alcohol involved!!! haha now I have this craving for beers and margaritas! some more from all over…Isaac Newton’s burger sounds good..very unique…
Ps thanks for doing the tag. I hope you enjoyed it.. If you know of anyone else doing it please feel free to send me a message and I’ll update them too on the updated list of tag doers
To me, if you’re not an ethnic establishment, you need to have a good beer selection for me to take you seriously :)
