Foodie Post: Mirchi Mount Laurel Indian Restaurant
Tinsel & Tine Spotlights MIRCHI MOUNT LAUREL Indian Cuisine By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Marilyn Johnson who runs Philly Grub is also the organizer of our Philly Food Bloggers Group and she set up a tasting for us at Mirchi Mount Laurel. It’s a casual BYOB serving authentic Indian Cuisine. Attached to the restaurant, but separate, is a large Banquet Facility, great idea to have a shower or birthday party catered with delicious Indian food! The restaurant has an extensive a la carte menu, and also offers a Lunch Buffet daily (11:30-3:00pm) on the weekends it includes over 35 items and this is what we got to experience for our…

WOK STREET on Chestnut Street Philly
TINSEL & TINE’S VISIT TO WOK STREET PHILLY By Tinsel & Tine Editor, Le Anne Lindsay Are you a fan of Hai Street Kitchen’s sushi burritos and rice and salad bowls? Well, now they’ve opened Wok Street (1518 Chestnut Street) another way to enjoy Southeast Asian fast food. Wok Street opened Mid-May, but I didn’t notice it, because it’s next to a building on Chestnut Street being renovated, so you might pass by it too, but if you’re in mid-town looking for a quick, healthy, filling nosh, then I suggest you pay attention, it’s on the left side if you’re heading west. HERE’S WHAT WOK STREET SAYS… At Wok Street,…

Philly Dining: MERCATO SUMMER TASTING MENU
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor My sister LeVonne’s birthday (7/7) just happened to fall on a Tuesday this year, which made it perfect for checking out Mercato (1216 Spruce St, Philadelphia, PA 19107) Tuesday Tasting Menu – 3 Courses for $33.00 #TastingTuesdays . In terms of the decor, I like the simplicity, intimate size and natural lighting of Mercato, yet it had been over 5 years since the last time I’d dined there. It’s an Italian BYOB, but not how you’d think of a traditional Italian restaurant; it’s really more the type of place I like to go to for small plates, antipasti, inventive appetizers, grilled veggies, artisan cheeses etc……

Guest Reviewer: SEASALT Cape May NJ (BYOB)
With so many intriguing items on the menu we quickly agreed to order different items each and to permit liberal sharing. Appetizer highlights were the raw oysters- briny and fresh and just perfect with the dry J Vineyards sparkling wine, as well as the Lobster Ravioli with brown butter, grilled asparagus and grape tomatoes- a bit too rich for the well balanced Pinot Noir from Chalk Hill but...

Philly Dining: Pizzeria Stella
As mentioned in my review of the movie Frances Ha, lunch prior to the screening was at Pizzeria Stella (420 S 2nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19106). Also as previously mentioned, slowly but surely, I aim to get around to all the Stephen Starr restaurants in the city, but he populates them so fast, I doubt I’ll ever catch up; my palate and stomach are willing, but my pocketbook still lags behind. Actually, Pizzeria Stella is quite affordable for those employed – LOL! Pies range from $11 – $19 and seem to be the exact right size for a party of two. Just don’t ask for meat to be added…
