in the area till next friday....bar/restaurant run downs if you got them. thinking about hitting up the jersey shore on saturday or sunday for the lulz.
Lived there for a few years and just moved back home to SC. Manayunk section is fun, most places are pretty good on Main Street Kildare's is usually pretty good. In center city I'm a fan of Fado, Ladder 15 is OK, fun little place called Black Sheep near Rittenhouse, Mac's Tavern in Old City has the best beer selection, but the Old City section is overrun by guidos from New Jersey and South Philly. Pen and Pencil is still the best after hours place, but a lot of club like after hours places have opened up. Just stay away from the Hipsters. The New Xfinity Live place by the stadiums isn't bad either. Best cheesesteak is Dalessandro's steaks, or Jim's on South Street.
