Last month Pennsylvania 6 took over the bi-level space on 12th street left vacant for quite some time, but formerly occupied by Tweed. I was recently invited to try their lunch menu, which just launched. Its an upscale menu that looks the part for a modern power lunch. Expect a raw bar and seafood, sandwiches, and a few classic American plates.
Since I judge how awesome or crappy a job is based on the food options within its vicinity, the Comcast Center is not a bad place to work. I dropped by the food court in the basement of the Comcast Center for my first time ever and decided to take a risk and order food court seafood, because yolo or I was just in the mood for seafood. Under the C seafood sells raw fish and crustaceans, a good sign that their prepared meals might actually be fresh.

This week I was invited back by The Capital Grille to try out their new summer additions to their $18 plates menu.
I am always so happy when The Capital Grille invites me back to try out their seasonal plates. The “plates” deal is always the same, $18 for an appetizer, entree, and a side dish. Every few months new seasonal menu items are added. The perfect truffle fries and lobster roll are still on the “plates” menu and as hard as they were to forgo, I wanted to try the new items.
Today, profiled luncher Stephanie enjoys some Belgian Tavern fare in Old City.
There’s no shortage of bars in our old city, Khyber Pass Pub and Eulogy and Khyber Pass Pub are some of the few remaining old bars in Olde City. One rainy Thursday afternoon (lunch only served Thurs-Sunday, so don’t say I didn’t warn you when you show up on a Monday), a coworker and I decided to cross Chestnut Street and head to Eulogy for a hearty pub lunch.

I didn’t want to listen to the bad things I heard about Snocky’s. I had once tried their oysters at a tasting event, and thought they were exquisitely fresh, so how bad could their food be? Snocky’s Oyster house has been around for almost 100 years, serving seafood sandwiches and platters in a diner-like environment. You want to like it there, but the kitchen makes that to be a challenge.

I picked Nodding Head for a lunch with several co-workers because there are enough things on the menu that everyone could pick something they wanted. But since I hadn’t actually tried their food, I couldn’t vouch for their quality. I am impressed by the fact that they brew their own beer, but do they put as much effort into the food?

Back at my holy grail of eats, Reading Terminal, I wanted to try a more random, less frequented spot for lunch. Wan’s Seafood sells a lot of… well, seafood clearly. But most of what they sell is fish to take home and make yourself. They also do platters and sandwiches of fried seafood, which was just what I was in the mood for. Considering I was a person who rarely ate fish a few years ago, I sure do love me some fried fish in my old age. I ordered the flounder platter, which was fried up fast. Too fast for me to yell- STOP, when I noticed that clam strips were on the menu. I was super bummed out; a fried clam strip platter is even more awesome than fried fish in my eyes. Luckily, the fish held its own and my day was not ruined.
