This place is probably the closest I've come personally to a New York style deli while in Philadelphia. When I have friends in from out of town, I try to make it out here at some point

Great food

The portions are huge, but that's to be expected (plus you have leftovers!)

I really liked this place, it's a shame it's closed.

Solid coffee, friendly staff, good atmosphere

it's closed down

I went in here with a few friends a while back for a few beers. We stopped in while we waited for our reservation at another restaurant nearby - which turned out to be kinda "meh", we should of just eaten here (the fries were good, so I can only assume). At any rate, the service was prompt and friendly, the atmosphere was comfortable, and I don't remember what I paid so it must have been reasonable. All in all, a positive experience. I plan on returning.

good service; "Irish bar" atmosphere, but more original and creative than, say, a Kildare's or Bennigan's

they sell beer by the pitcher, have both Lager and Guinness on tap, but they won't make you a pitcher of Black and Tan - what gives?
