Philly Restaurant – Landmark Americana
It has pained me so much these last few years, because of financial constraints, not to participate in Restaurant Week and Dine Out for Life. However, this year I thought, perhaps if I give a little, I’ll get a little, or a lot! And made Dine Out for Life reservations (Thurs 4/28) at Landmark Americana /University City (3333 Market Street). The restaurant doesn’t look very crowded in this picture because I went for a late 3pm lunch.

Tinsel & Tine Fun Film & Food Fodder on Facebook
If at times it seems Tinsel & Tine hasn’t posted anything new for a couple of days, it’s often because I’ve been making quick comments about my film and/or dining experiences and linking to interesting film and food fodder on facebook.

(facebook account linked to Twitter, if you prefer to follow T & T through that social network).

Philly Restaurant – Flying Carpet Cafe & Bar
Stumbled upon an oasis in the desert yesterday, a real treasure of a spot called Flying Carpet Cafe & Bar. Located in the triangular apex of 19th & Poplar (1841 Poplar Street). The vibe inside is wonderfully chill, with a slightly Moorish decor. Owner Kevin Young, is at least partly of Middle Eastern decent and a lot of the menu reflects this flavor, offering Mediterranean Tapas, Vegan Flying Falafel, Exotic Teas and Baklava. He created the signature sandwich I tried called Captain’s Breakfast ($6) – Scrambled eggs with turkey bacon, spinach, horseradish cheddar cheese, roasted red peppers on a everything bagel smeared with Dijon mustard – 3 Tines (* Excellent…
