Ippolito’s is a casual seafood spot in South Philly. They will clean and cut freshies for you to take home and prepare, and they offer a menu of food, like fish sandwiches and sushi. Since the rain has finally stopped, take your lunch to Columbus Square park one block north and eat at one of the benches.

So some local foozball player opened an American bistro in Old City last Spring (obviously I am an avid sports fan). Its a pretty straight forward menu with a solid cocktail list. They are open for lunch/brunch Wednesday through Sunday.
Yesterday’s post on Luke’s Lobster got me thinking about lobster rolls around town. Specifically, which is the best value. There is nothing like the luxurious feeling of having a mouth full of lobster meat like a boss. For me, it isn’t JUST about the juicy, sweet lobster meat. Because I am really nobody’s boss. This is a blog about the lunches that give you the most bang for your buck after all.
Who clawed their way to the top?
Luke’s Lobster comes to Philly and the crowd goes wild. This was pretty big news when it opened in May; bringing the Maine lobster everyone already enjoyed in New York. Luke’s occupies one of the subterranean spot on 17th street, the other being Underdogs. Tables are available, but order at the counter.

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.
