The West Philly Restaurant Renaissance Continues
October 7, 2009 at 10:43 am
The season has been full of new restaurant openings in the hood: we've welcomed new pizza joints, fro-yo spots, and way more. You tryin' to make us fat, West Philly?
The newest kid on the block, Midatlantic Restaurant & Tap Room, opened yesterday at 3711 Market. The restaurant is brand new, but harkens back to the area's roots with influences from 18th century Pennsylvania Dutch cookin'. This old school local grub apparently includes items like fried clams and oysters, homemade soft pretzels, pig "wings," and sausage. We appreciate the reference to Ben Franklin days, but we're a little alarmed by the somewhat suspect Wednesday $16 hot dog special.
