Sounds good Hubris. I've not had Jim's on South Street, although I haven't heard good things about it. The one here in the NE is pretty good though.

Granted, it's already September, but we SHOULD try to hold a Cellar gathering. Tony?

I used to work for CVS at their store in Society Hill (off South St. on Headhouse Square). I hated CVS, but I truly enjoyed working in the neighborhood. We always had a ton of tourists in the area, so not only was I an Assistant Manager, but I was also the restaurant conoisseur, beer guide, city map, and phone directory.

Some examples:

Customer: "What's a good restaurant around here?"
Me: "Well, if you walk up the street to South and hang a right, you're going to find about 40 of them."

Customer: "Excuse me, I'm having a really hard time trying to find a 6-pack. Your grocery stores don't sell beer?"
Me: "You're not from here, are you?"
Customer: "No, Florida."
Me: *goes into explanation of how to get beer and why it is so difficult*

Customer: "I'm trying to find (insert restaurant name here). I was told it's on 2nd St., but I don't see it around here."
Me: "Let me grab my phone book."

I do miss the unassigned part of that job...
