Neighborhood: Olde City
This is my new "working remotely" spot. Great place to come and get coffee - free re-fills. Just don't come and ask for decaf - only have decaf tea selections. Best wi-fi connection I've found, so I can work and connect to remote desktops and not be bogged down by a bad connection. So far have only gotten lunch once, which was this rediculously robust and delicious white fish salad with a multi-grain bagel - check out the pictures associated with Ole Cafe. Also, perfect place to go, get an iced coffee and sit outside at on a beautiful day. Just don't start coming here too frequently or bring soooo many people that I have no where to work anymore!
Been here twice - once with my pops and buddy and had some pretty sweet dinner and dessert crepes. Then was just here again and got a really good chocolate-coconut dessert crepes with coffee ice cream. Then went upstairs for some dancing, which it was pretty packed, but still had a good time dancing to some 80s and 90s music. Just note that when the cocktail waitress is coming through - clear out of the way not matter who's in front of you!

Went there for a Sunday brunch, very busy, they told us it would be about a 5-10 min wait and...
... it actually was 5-10 minutes! Had to wait a decent amount of time for our food but it was worth it - high quality breakfast. We got two stacks of pancakes to split - the blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes were great and eggs with the usual toast and hashbrowns to go with it. All solid, the service was decent despite the busyness.

Just printed off three 8X10s and 11X14s to frame for my apartment and they were great, even though my photos didn't come out the right way the first time. What happened was that I need submitted the photos online and cropped them on their website, however when I went to pick up the prints they were not cropped properly.
The Ritz Camera team was very attentive, helped me crop the photos properly and reprinted them within the hour at no extra charge.
If you are going to be printing off photos you need to crop, I suggest going into the store with a CD or flashdrive and doing it there - they'll help you - and you are guaranteed to get them come out the way you want them.

So far, probably the best Sushi experience I've had in Philly. Really nice atmosphere and cool sushi bar that's carved out of a solid block of (maybe) teak. But more importantly, the sushi was really high quality, excellent (borderline over-attentive) service, the owner is one of the sushi chef's behind the counter and was talking to us making sure things are OK. The maki combo and the wasabi lobster roll was the perfect amount for two hungry dudes. Everything just seemed to be a bit fresher and unique than what I've experienced so far in Philly.

Quality brews - rediculously large selection both on tap and by the bottle. Also had a great vegetarian bean burger (had to be super confident in my manhood to order that one!) with goat cheese on it. Great place to go but not so good with a large group.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to be a fan of this one - great portions, had this really good soup with thick noodles, kabobs of fish, tofu, and some other "stuff" mixed in, and three small bowls of tasty appetizers. It was officially called Oheng Udong - fish cake, U Dong Noodle, and Vegetables - I prefer to just call them thick noodles. Great place to check out in Terminal Square.

Great place to watch a game - plenty of flat screens for the bar and tables to look at, plus one really big display on the back wall that anyone can see if they just turn their head.
Good selection of casual food. Got a roast beef sandwich with a healthy portion of really fresh roast beef.
Can't go wrong if you're looking for a relaxing place to go watch a game and not drop too much money, but enjoy quality food.

Ordered a margherita pie while watching some Sunday football at my buddy's place and it was delivered within 30 minutes. I think the delivery guy overcharged us by a few bucks. The pizza was decent, but I've had better margherita before. I like the type of margherita with chunky tomatos, but this pizza just had ponds of thick sauce runnning into puddles of mozzarella.

Went there for game 6 of the world series. The positive was that we found a place to sit and could hear and see the game easily. The negative was that the $3 bud light drafts were flat.
