Cherry Hill,
NJ
08002

Montgomeryville,
PA
19454
Dave H. writes: This chain of steakhouses offers hand-cut steaks. I was here for a friend's birthday (around Mother's Day) and told our server as much. Our server told us that the birthday boy/girl must sit in a saddle (they roll it out on wheels) before they then…
The Blarney Stone

West Chester,
PA
19382
Kim P. writes: Why oh why didn't I just say no to shots? I mean, SoCo and Lime? What am I, in high school? And yeah, that was my group who had their own personal dance floor going at the end of the bar. Is that bad? Gah we probably looked like idiots.…
China House

331 Spring Garden St
Philadelphia,
PA
19123
Susan L. writes: Cheap Chinese food that is hit-or-miss. Broccoli and Chicken is good, Cashew Chicken is not. Veggie fried rice is so-so. But it's close and it's quick so I go.
The fortune cookies, however, are SPOT ON. Seriously. Like the most perfect fortunes…
Grasshopper Boutique
Neighborhood: Market East
727 Walnut St
Philadelphia,
PA
19106
Nate F. writes: There's some really nice clothing here, very cool stuff. For the most part it's way beyond my budget (prices range from 'I can definitely see how someone would pay that if they had the money' to 'WHAT?!') although after going for a couple of years…

King of Prussia,
PA
19406
Dave H. writes: TIP: Going to Wild Rice? Getting take-out? Go to their web site and print off a 10%-off coupon!

200 S Broad St
Philadelphia,
PA
19102
Poker Bunny Y. writes: I've had a blow out here while staying at the Parc Hyatt. I'd recommend. I can't speak for the other services. Atmosphere was only a notch above Supercuts. Clearly, an upscale salon in NY or SF would never have this atmosphere, but it was ok for…
Bridgeport Towers
330 W 3rd St
Bridgeport,
PA
19405
Santa V. writes: I absolutely loved this place!
Of course, it was over ten years ago that I called old G-4 home.
A review is necessary, nonetheless.
This place was about as colorful as you could get.
I think it was partially zoned as Section 8 housing! So, there was the…
Walnut Street Theatre
Neighborhood: Market East
825 Walnut St
Philadelphia,
PA
19107
Andrew T. writes: Les Miserables has never played the Walnut, you must be thinking of the Forrest theatre. Don't worry, it's quite common that people confuse the theatres since we're both on Walnut Street. The WST produces all of its own shows. Les Miserables WILL be…

Bala Cynwyd,
PA

Philadelphia,
PA

Jessica K. writes: These guys are a little bit pricey, but very friendly. They even hemmed my pants for free one time- and did a great job. That was a nice surprise. I like that they have a little drive-up area that you can pull your car in for quick drop offs or…

I like their steaks. Sure, they're not as good as mine, but they're better than most in this city. They make a super root…

eliza b. writes: reasons why i dislike this place:
- "you moved to brooklyn? no we can't give you a referral, that's too far away, we can't help you." WTF? what are referrals even for if you can't give them over a short distance? it's not like i would need a referral…

Tasty of China
1056 S Black Horse Pike
Williamstown,
NJ
08094
Jenna C. writes: Tasty of China is listed as a seafood market? HA! Besides the fact that the idea of ToC as a seafood market is laughable it's also gross.
Tasty showed up on the scene about 5 or 6 years ago. It was a huge joke to all of us for several reasons. First…
McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant
Neighborhood: Penn Center, Market East, Avenue of the Arts South
One South Broad Street
Philadelphia,
PA
19107

Abington,
PA

Dave H. writes: I ate at this Greek restaurant a few years ago and remember ordering the souvlaki. It was delicious but I wasn't used to having goat cheese on my meat. The interior is bright and sunny and it was packed during lunchtime.

Abington,
PA

They also serve ice cream.
Good place to stop if you…
Shell Station - W J Enterprises Inc.
1701 Markley St
Norristown,
PA
19401
Dave H. writes: It's a gas station. The gas is sometimes cheap, but others in the area tend to be less. It IS convenient as it's right on 202. There's also a handy-dandy mini-mart built-into it, like many gas stations.
Oh, and you can get self-service car washes…

Bon Bon Artisan Gelato
Neighborhood: Olde City
229 Market Street
Philadelphia,
PA
19106
Fly D. writes: Nutella-flavored gelato. Need I say more? I want to move in. And it tasted even better because we were able to sit outside at a cafe table and enjoy our dessert and a nice breeze. It brought back memories of Paris. . . sort of.

Philadelphia,
PA
19127

4322 Main St
Philadelphia,
PA
19127
Kimberly P. writes: I happened to wander in this tiny place while at the Manayunk Arts Festival. Besides being carefully watched (I assume to make sure that I was not stealing anything) by a cold, serious-looking store worker, this tiny place was nothing special.
It had…

4120 Main St
Philadelphia,
PA
19127
Kyle K. writes: Nice furniture at this place. Everything is available in your choice of solid wood. I've been deciding what to splurge on - a bed or a hutch?
I can see why the previous reviews claim the furniture is boring - everything has a clean, understated…
Latitudes Fine Craft Gallery
Neighborhood: Manayunk, Roxborough
4325 Main St
Philadelphia,
PA
19127
Kimberly P. writes: Latitudes was...*yawn* boring. They had some alright jewelry but none of it was special and nothing that you could not find for a lot cheaper on South Street. This brightly-lit jewelry and gift ware shop is better noted for their card selection: they…
