Damn im hungry......

Dont forget to try some of Philly's famous BYOBs guys.

A few i like are:

monk's is good for the mussels, but always crazy/crowded...might want to check out nodding head (same stuff)...

 

I have never heard of nodding head. Where is it? Begian beer?

 

belgian beer...pretty much the same menu except alot less crowded...it's in rittenhouse square...i block north of walnut...near roy's restaurant...sorry forgot the cross street...easily missed b/c it's on the 2nd floor...

 

pretty sure it's Sansom

They have a new monks up near the Eastern State Pen I think it's 19th and green (or close by) bigger than the original, it's been crowded the couple time i've been in

 

that's it!!! samson...definitely check it out...it's a bar setting...very casual but very good food
