Sporadically good food is keeping the Wishing Well out of the gastropub conversation.
by Elisa Ludwig
All of the elements for gastropub success — daring dishes, beer nerdery, nostalgic '80s soundtrack — would seem to be in place here. But so far, the food, divided into "plates," salads and burgers, is not rising above average old-school bar fare.

Introducing CP's new restaurant critic, Adam Erace.
by Drew Lazor
Trey Popp, who started reviewing restaurants for City Paper in 2006, has moved on to become the restaurant critic at Philadelphia magazine. While we'll certainly miss Trey and his devilishly erudite stylings, I'm extremely excited to introduce his replacement.

Philly's most storied rock club pulls the plug.
by Brian Howard
The epicenter of the evolution was The Khyber Pass Pub. The narrow room with the low ceiling in which bands played with their backs to a plate glass window looking out onto Second Street was in many ways imperfect. But it had a mystique. It was legend.

In a citypaper.net exclusive, Jason Giballo, The Khyber’s longtime door man, cleaning man and spiritual center, in his own words about the club’s legacy.
What’s that famous saying“When it comes to the legend and the truth, always print the legend.” With The Khyber, it’s always the truth. People aren’t waxing your car when they tell you the stories about when Iggy Pop played that special show.


All the news we care to print.
Ipso facto, when bee news comes along, we are required to care, even if we don't want to.

Should Joseph Ligon spend the rest of his life in jail for a crime he committed at 15?

"When you commit a crime as a juvenile, you probably wouldn't make those same choices when you're an adult. I want to give people the chance to become better people and to be rewarded for that."

City Paper Grade: C
by Shaun Brady
Carell's character combines the delusional naïveté and lack of self-awareness of Michael Scott, but dumbs it down to the degree that you want less to laugh at him than find a nice institution that will care for his needs.
