Restaurants near the Mann

My parents are coming into town tomorrow night to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir- they actually won a radio contest for their singing, and get to perform with them at sound check and then attend the concert.

We should have about 2 hours for dinner, so someplace pretty close.

Any suggestions?

Re: Restaurants near the Mann

  • That is so cool.  My parents are also going to this.

    There isn't anything that's super close.

    There is a restaurant there: http://manncenter.org/plan-your-visit/dining I've never been so I have no idea what it's like.

    Fairmount or Manayunk would be your best bet otherwise, I think.  Do you need further recs in Fairmount?

    Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
  • Wracking my brain to remember. I think somewhere on City Ave or Fairmount could be your best bet.

  • Good for them!  There's nothing near the Mann. I'd recommend Fairmount. Illuminaire (their back room is pretty) or L'Oca may be good for this. Enjoy!

     

  • University City would probably be another option.  There are a million places around Drexel/ UPenn that would work.  It's a tad further away, but you will probably have more non-chain options there than trying to find something along city ave.  The traffic from ucity to the mann would probably not be bad either.
  • In Bala Cynwyd go to:

    Saffron for Indian (this would be my personal pick) or Aldar for Mediterranean

    In Manayunk for to:

    Jakes/Coopers for expensive (yet amazingly delicious pizza) or Winnie's Le Bus for "safe" American food.

  • Thanks everyone!

    LTP, Fairmount recs would be welcome!

  • Rembrandt's has a new chef and IMO the best new burger contender in town: The Rogue Burger.  American fare and lots of outdoor and indoor seating.

    Illuminaire and L'Oca are good recs - both Italian. 

    There is a new place called Fare on Fairmount across from Eastern State.  I've heard nothing about it yet.

    I don't recommend Jack's Firehouse or London Grill.

    Bishop's Collar if all you want is a beer and a burger.

    St. Stephen's Green - really nice food, pretty bar, nice staff.
