PIGLFF Pit Stops

Festing Facilities

Published: Jul 9, 2008

1 Lolita
106 S. 13th St., 215-546-7100

After checking out the Mexican film Burn the Bridges at the Prince, treat yourself to the best Mexican-inspired menu in the city. It's worth the wait at Valerie Safran and Marcie Turney's BYO, if only to enjoy their fresh spicy guacamole as you sip your refreshing watermelon purée margaritas.

2 Valanni
1229 Spruce St., 215-790-9494

George Anni's restaurant is hosting queer kinky quizzo Tuesday night during PIGLFF, and always has great happy hours where you'll fight for the last piece of grilled octopus with your companions. This makes it a must on the fest circuit for cocktails, dinner and trivia. You could spend a three-day weekend here — or come by after seeing 3-Day Weekend.

3 More Than Just Ice Cream
1119 Locust St., 215-574-0586

After screening Israeli dramedy Antarctica, you may be inspired to get more than just a cool summer treat here. With tasty Caesar salads, healthy chicken sandwiches and even a veggie burger, there are plenty of ways to justify a heaping cup or cone for dessert. The adorable waiters serve it up with good dish, too.

4 Knock
225 S. 12th St., 215-925-1166

Former Woody's owner Bill Wood and his brother, Steve, opened this lavishly appointed restaurant that features a nifty bar and elegant dishes like pan-seared scallops. The cozy atmosphere for queer couples makes this the perfect spot to grab brunch with your honey — perhaps before seeing the quirky family film Breakfast with Scot.

5 12th Air Command
254 S. 12th St., 215-545-8088

This hopping bar, which features pool tables and a dancefloor, also sports a great outdoor deck for cocktails and cruising. While 12AC is an ideal pickup spot for finding someone to go see the military romance Dog Tags, you don't have to wear camouflage.
