The Pontiac Grille: Buckle Up


Located at 3rd and South, the Pontiac Grille has undergone a facelift that would make Joan Rivers jealous. Once a seedy dive, owner Daryl Madden describes the new Pontiac as a “gastro-pub;” a comfortable place for all to chill with great food at pub prices. The old façade has been blown out; with large garage doors that can be opened to the outdoors, tin plated ceilings, wood bars, ...

Old City Pagoda


Today - one my favorite knosh spots in Old City. If you find yourself tramping around Elfreth's Alley or the Seaport Museum you might be at a loss as to where to eat. 4th Street to Front Street between Walnut and Market....it's a weird area for food, especially if you're on a budget.  Lots of posh restaurants and bars (slyly nicknamed "the meat-market" by locals due to the singles scene ...
