There's a ton of Mexican in South Philadelphia, but it's not Sonoran. The vast majority is Puebla cuisine, since the vast majority of Mexicans here are from there. It's great!

They used to run a trolley on at least the north end of it back in the day, hopefully they can do it again.

I don't know about the vibe either but I can vouch for south house being a really pleasant bar.

To be fair, it's titled "where we're drinking right now", not "what's best right now". It's philly mag, they have no qualms about style over substance...

They aren't kidding about grace & proper being packed. I had an unexpected couple of hours to myself yesterday and was riding by shortly before 5, so I tried to stop by there for a drink, and they couldn't have crammed one more person in there.
So I kept going south on 8th and went to the jim, and it was as dark and pleasant as it has been since basically the day it opened.

Joe's on 16th near Sansom is good. I mean nothing special but solid everyday pizza. Also is Dolce Carini still around? They were always good but I don't get into center city as much as I used to anymore, so I don't know if they still are.

The flemish bond/coal pattern is one of my favorite things about old city/society hill. You don't want every house to have it, but it's awesome that there are so many interspersed in that neighborhood.

OK this is bullshit, but at the same time considering that what's done is done and the buildings are gone, isn't Pearl a better developer than Toll? I mean as far as what the end product is going to be, generally speaking isn't it preferrable to have a Pearl building than a Toll one?
Or maybe not. I don't really know either way.

Is Harry still around? I haven't seen hidden city articles from him in years.

Reply to comment by PlentyOfMoxie in How to mount something safely on a wall of unknown material? by zeurydice
We had a wall like that in our dining room/kitchen area. When they tore it out it turned out to be regular 2x4 studs or maybe even 2x3s, but turned sideways so the plaster was on the flat part. Strange.
