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…

Philly Restaurant – White Dog Cafe (XPN Music Film Fest)
I was pretty good both calorie and pocketbook wise, and brought snacks to eat during most of last weekend’s XPN/PFS Music Film Festival, but I did dine out twice – Saturday night with a friend at The White Dog Cafe.

Philly Restaurant – Tria (XPN Music Film Fest)
My other dining experience during the music film festival was Sunday afternoon at Tria (3131 Walnut Street). My sister had given me a gift certificate for Christmas and this was the perfect time to make use of it. This spot used to be called Biba, same owner, Jon Myerow who has Tria cafes in Rittenhouse Square and Washington Square West. But this location was going to focus on wines, so it was given a different moniker. However, now it appears to just be a 3rd Tria. Tria does a great thing called Sunday School, where they choose a selection of beers, wines and cheese, give a detailed description and price…

Philly Restaurant – Race Street Cafe
Race Street has been a staple neighborhood hang out for a decade, huge walnut wood bar, wood beam ceiling and brick and mortar walls give it the perfect ambiance for casual Sunday Brunch with friends, enjoying a solitary beer while watching the game or taking up a table near a wall outlet, writing a blog with their free WiFi...
