Philadelphia,
PA

Heather M. writes: Nice mani/pedi spot. Massage chairs aren't the greatest and the decor is a little barren, but the service is attentive and technicians are extremely through. $30 for a mani/pedi, cash only.
Torresdale Boys Club
Neighborhood: Torresdale
4500 Linden Ave
Philadelphia,
PA
19114
Kelly S. writes: This place should rightfully be called the Torresdale "Youth" Club or something b/c it's not just for boys. Anyway, I played all sorts of sports here when I was a kid - basketball, softball, soccer, cheerleading (which I hated and only did one…

Philadelphia,
PA

Swiss Farms Stores
1569 Paoli Pike
West Chester,
PA
19383
Erin K. writes: The new Swiss Farms store in East Goshen Township opened August 4, 2007. It rules. It has a green roof instead of red (because of an East Goshen Township ordinance - WHAT?) but it still is convenience at its finest.
Do I hate Wawa? Definitely not. I…
Qdoba Mexican Grill
Neighborhood: Spruce Hill, University City
230 S 40th St
Philadelphia,
PA
19104
Kimberly P. writes: If you are a fan of Mexican food, this is the place for you. They have a great assortment of nachos, quesadillas, tacos and burritos. Think of it as slightly classier Taco Bell.
Each item is made fresh to order and you get to watch them make it too!…
Classic Diner
352 Lancaster Ave
Malvern,
PA
19355
Barb .. writes: This is no diner. And certainly not a place where you make an appearance with bed head. This is a trendy, sophisticated spot on the main line with beautiful, friendly staff dressed in head-to-toe NY black, in a clean, urban-contemporary, yet cozy…
Ottenlenghi
Neighborhood: Manayunk, Roxborough
Main St
Philadelphia,
PA
19176
AKS S. writes: Very modern white decor. We had four small servings of food. The menu is pretty set and small. At least you know what they do well. They also have a decent sized pastry section. We grabbed a meringue topped peach tart with a carrot cake. We had sweet…
Tex Mex Connection
201 E Walnut St
North Wales,
PA
19454
veronika p. writes: Whenever I came to visit my dad at work (he works at Merck), we came here for lunch. The service is amazingly fast, the food is delicious, and the prices are affordable. I really like the decor - it's very Mexican, but classily-so. The first floor is…
Peking Wok Chinese Restaurant
State Hwy 38 & Ark Rd
Mount Laurel,
NJ
08054
Erin C. writes: I didn't realize how much take-out Chinese joints from south Jersey had spoiled me until recently. Peking Wok has been the go to for Chinese for my family since moving to this side of town. Before that, it was another dependable restaurant. Most…

PA

The fountain at Logan Circle has monumental sculptures of larger then life…
The Raven Lounge
Neighborhood: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
1718 Sansom St
Philadelphia,
PA
19103
Adam C. writes: Once upon a midnight dreary,
Already drunk, aching, weary,
My friends carried me down the streets of forgotten Sansom lore...
Restless, senseless, even slurring
Nonsequential sentences fluttering
We came to a spot of art and booze placed under the same…

Philadelphia,
PA
19103

Philadelphia,
PA

cherie c. writes: Delicious. They have some of the best water ice around. The custard is good--try the coffee custard for a taste of icy cool heaven.
Rita's is the perfect treat on a hot day in the city. It's also quite inexpensive. I get the kids size, as the…
Lennie M. Checchio, DDS
Neighborhood: Torresdale
9525 Frankford Ave
Philadelphia,
PA
19114
Kelly S. writes: I have another dentist for normal dental stuff, but he referred me to Dr. Checchio when I got my wisdom teeth out when I was 19. Dr. Checchio did a good job. He does this stuff all the time, so it was routine for him. He did it under general…
Rita's Water Ice
Neighborhood: Morrell Park, Torresdale
1227 Bristol Pike
Andalusia,
PA
19020
Pamela A. writes: This is my favorite Rita's, they have most of the flavors (unlike some of the other one's I've been to) and the service has always been great here. Very friendly and courteous.
Bob's Bait & Tackle
Neighborhood: East Falls
4863 Ridge Ave
Philadelphia,
PA
19129
Andrew M. writes: Bob's is my bait shop of choice. It's located right at the mouth of the Wissahickon Creek, on ridge avenue. It was a little hard to find the first time, but that's because it's in the very last row house. Bob's can get you your license, and they…
The Natural Shoe Store Inc.

220 South 40th St
Philadelphia,
PA
19104
Samantha M. writes: This place has some nice shoes and the prices reflect it. I really didn't expect some of the prices from this tiny little store but I understand why. They do have some cheaper stuff, and by cheaper I mean $30, which for me is still a little salty but…
The Last Word Bookshop
Neighborhood: University City
220 S 40th St
Philadelphia,
PA
19104
Nate F. writes: I knew I would like this place when, not 5 minutes in to my visit, a cat came over and decided to make me her new best friend.
This is what all used book stores should be - they won't necessarily have what you came in for at the time, but it's a…
Odessa's Beauty Center
Neighborhood: Cedarbrook
8231 Stenton Ave
Philadelphia,
PA
19150
Kimberly P. writes: If you are ever in the Germantown area and are looking for a good place to get your hair "did," stop by Ms. Odessa's Beauty Shop. All of the hair stylists there are talented, though my favorite is Shelly. Ms. Odessa herself is very talented but is…

Philly Crab & Steakhouse
3334 Grant Ave
Philadelphia,
PA
19114
Kelly S. writes: This place is really nice for being in a strip mall in Northeast Philly. Someone gave my parents a gift certificate, so we decided to use it. Let me tell you, the outside isn't much to look at, but the inside of this restaurant is pretty cool.…

King of Prussia,

117 S 19th St
Philadelphia,
PA
19103
Kellie C. M. writes: Children enjoy theme parks. Grown men enjoy a round of golf and other sports outings. Grown women? Well, I'm as big an athlete and roller coaster fan as I know in life...but, nothing beats a couple hours at the day spa.
My favorite is Toppers Spa…
Luciano's Pizza
12 W Lancaster Ave
Ardmore,
PA
19003
Ben B. writes: Behind Felicia's, Luciano's takes a strong second in the ardmore pizza reel. The pizza has very little sauce, which I like. The garlic knots are greasy and amazing. Definitely good for delivery.
Lenny's Italian Deli
900 Fayette St
Conshohocken,
PA
19428
Steven H. writes: Great family owned place that is all about quality. The bread is amazing and I think it is from the Conshy Bakery. I think highly of the cheesesteak. The provolone is tasty and blended in with the meat and onions. My only complaint is that it…

27 W Butler Ave
Ambler,
PA
19002
Seth P. writes: I've been to Trax several times, always for special occasions. It's a great restaurant with good food (one of the best, juicy chicken breasts I've had in a restaurant) and a stellar ambiance.
The chef changes the menu to suit the season and, I…

1901 E Washington Ln
Philadelphia,
PA

Kimberly P. writes: This is a pretty good hair braiding shop. They have decent prices and can braid really fast. The only weird thing is that they demand payment upfront. :-/
Zen Tea House
225 N 11th St
Philadelphia,
PA
19176
Michael C. writes: If this is the best that Philly has to offer in the way of boba, I cry for you, Philly.
A boba shop should be judged on the quality of its boba. Good boba has to be made daily, as it only keeps so long before it loses its suppleness (there's a…
King's Caterers II
4010 New Falls Rd
Bristol,
PA
19007
Kelly S. writes: I had both of my proms here, and I liked this place. It was nice, clean, and they have a giant cushy arm chair that makes you look like a doll if you climb up and get your picture taken in it.

Cherry Hill,

2300 E Lincoln Hwy Ofc 220A
Langhorne,
PA
19047
Nicole E. writes: When I moved into town, everyone was making a big deal about this mall, but I'm not sure why. It's a relatively small mall with the usual stores. It's handing having the mall so close, but it's nothing to jump up and down about.
Golden Asp Boutique
2438 Pasqualone Blvd
Bensalem,
PA
19020
Kelly S. writes: The Golden Asp is a very small store, but they have a huge selection of wedding dresses, bridesmaid's gowns, and prom gowns. I got both of my prom dresses here. The sales staff are really friendly and helpful.
