I’ve been meaning to go to this place forever; it opened last fall. Enjoyed it very much. The dish in the foreground is a latke, not a giant breakfast sausage.
After dinner, we hit up APO, just barely missing their Repeal Day drink specials. Place was packed; had fun with a couple Corpse Reviver variations.
Also: Where did YOU eat this weekend? So cold; any food or drink you’d recommend for getting warm and getting warm quick?
supper!
haven’t been in awhile. i used to brunch there often, the small plates are handy for people who can’t decide between sweet and savory on sunday morning.
while you were eating there, i was a few blocks down south st. at the lickety split, asking myself why people go to lorenzo’s
bhiladelphia:
You got it! It was my first time. It was packed when we first arrived so our served seemed a little harried, but as the section cleared out he was able to stop and talk about the food and drink a little bit. I don’t think my crappy pic really does those two amazing dishes — crab latke and grilled squid with chorizo — much justice.
Weird story about Lickety Split — a friend of mine invited a friend of his from Scotland to visit the states. When they were in Philly, they ended up at Lickety Split at the bar. The Scottish friend recognized that the bartender had a brogue, so he asked where he was from. Turns out that they were both from the same tiny town and knew like all the same people, families, places, etc. I’m guessing much scotch was drunk after this revelation came to the fore.
