"For the past three months, I've been dealing with the process of getting my Pennsylvania driver's license. I'd had a license in NJ for years, but like a dummy let it expire and was required to go…" - Jen Oliver

"OH MY GOD, why has it taken me so long to check this place out? Obviously, word has spread about how good it is, since it was packed when I arrived with a party of four. The short wait was entirely…" - Jen Oliver

"If you like paying $20.04 for coffee and two mini bagel sandwiches, and if you like waiting forty-five minutes for said bagels (seriously: 45 minutes), and if you're looking for details about the next…" - Jen Oliver

"Late Saturday afternoon, I stopped in for a salad to go. Imagine my surprise when I got home and not only had the dressing leaked everywhere, but the salad was not the salad I ordered. The counter…" - Jen Oliver

"I ordered delivery from here one night, and it was filling, cheap and fast. Decided to check it out last night, and immediately regretted it. Wanting a relatively quick bite to eat before a show, I…" - Jen Oliver

"closed on sundays? bogus." - Jen Oliver

"I had high hopes for a non-chain Mexican place in the neighborhood, but the food we had was pretty bland all around. Also, both the tortas and picaditas were overwrought with shredded lettuce. LETTUCE…" - Jen Oliver

"I am so glad I decided to try this place tonight. The staff was incredibly friendly. They asked my name and shook my hand, and asked me about my sushi tastes and preferences. They asked if I ever…" - Jen Oliver

"The former Bar Noir has turned into a fancy cocktail den, and it's quickly becoming my favorite bar in the city. The servers are obviously knowledgeable about their craft, but not a bit pretentious.…" - Jen Oliver

"Let me start by saying the lobster and shrimp pyramid pasta is the best dish I have had in recent memory. Seriously outstanding. If you go, be prepared to wait. Reservations are only accepted before…" - Jen Oliver

"I was excited to go back to Tequila's, having just moved in around the corner from it. I'd been there for dinner once before a couple of years ago and loved it. I couldn't wait to take my boyfriend…" - Jen Oliver

"I need to preface this review by saying that I didn't actually buy anything when I went to United Furniture this week. But I will be back to buy a kitchen table and chairs, a dresser, and hopefully…" - Jen Oliver

"Mezze's booth is surrounded on three sides with windows of fresh foods -- ingredients to build your own salads, a display of their various sandwiches, three or four hot foods options and a small rack…" - Jen Oliver

"This past Saturday, 30 of us got together to tube down the Delaware -- no small feat considering I've never seen any of these people outside of their urban confines, and never before 2pm on a…" - Jen Oliver

"Stopped by Que Chula Es Puebla on Saturday night for take-out. The owner was friendly and asked how we wanted the tacos prepared (onions, lettuce, tomatoes, crema). The food took a while even though…" - Jen Oliver

"Made the trip from Fishtown to the Main Line on Sunday after craving a good bagel and reading about this place on Phoodie. It's SO worth the trip. It was around 2 in the afternoon when we found this…" - Jen Oliver

"This is a I'm-hungry-and-don't-want-to-make-dinner staple at my house. I almost always get the chiorizo quesadillas, but everything I've tried has been excellent, authentic and fresh. The salsas are…" - Jen Oliver

"I'm not sure why a variety of different Asian foods (Korean, Chinese, Thai, etc.) would be a dig on a place. I liked getting sushi, pad thai and orange beef all from the same place. There are still…" - Jen Oliver

"There's absolutely nothing fancy about the New Wave Cafe. The decor is like Xanadu-meets-Warsaw, with that kind of cheap knock-off Patrick Nagel artwork that decorated every condo coke den in 1981.…" - Jen Oliver

"It should be noted that I am a relative noob when it comes to Indian food. The first few times I tried Indian, my meat dishes were sweet (rosewater lamb and something else), and I am no fan of…" - Jen Oliver

"I bought some Gorgonzola at the Old City Cheese Shop earlier in the year, but hadn't been back since. I stopped by for lunch today when I noticed Cafe Ole was out of bagels. Old City Cheese Shop had…" - Jen Oliver

"I'd been to the Green Rock several times before I tried the food, which is a shame since the kitchen is one of the best-kept pub-food secrets in Philly. The pierogies are amazing. The pork sandwich…" - Jen Oliver

"After brunch at No. 3rd on Saturday, I went on a hunt for a birthday gift for a 1-year-old girl. I don't have kids. I don't know too many kids. I don't know what kids like -- except I do know they…" - Jen Oliver

"I almost avoided the Memphis Taproom, just because it's been so over-hyped, and one of the co-owners is a former Nodding Head manager, and I loathe Nodding Head. But I decided to check it out last…" - Jen Oliver
