A Non-Scientifically Composed List of Philadelphia Restaurants
This list came into being sometime during my first year living in Philadelphia. I had built up a list of a dozen or so restaurants I knew and was familiar with, and wasn’t really taking advantage of the several hundred other options within a 5 block radius of my apartment. To remedy this, I pledged not to visit the same restaurant twice for the next few months, and this page kept track of where I’d been and what candidates I had identified for future meals.
Since then, it has become a little unmaintained, although I’m trying to update it a bit. If you have any comments, questions, suggestions, or recommendations, please feel free to e-mail me (the URL to this page should give you a hint as to what that e-mail address is).
