Yeah, I don't go there to eat so have no idea. I'm sure their food/beer scene is cool, I'm there at least once per year, I'm just spoiled because I'm taking care of mom more often now and she lives just outside Asheville and I visit friends who live in Gent and Antwerp once per year. Hard to beat.My wife worked at Monk's when we first met (a good 14 years ago)! Last time we checked, it was still legit. Though the one time I tried their mussels, which is supposed to be their thing, I was not all that impressed.
(But... as someone else mentioned, Philly does have excellent food and beer scenes these days. They just don't have a playoff-bound hockey team at the moment.)
