I'm going to Tangerine in a few minutes...

I would say in West Philly/University City:
Pod around 34th street (walnut and chestnut)
Bistro St Tropez (about 29th and market overlooking river)
Cheaper:
Mad 4 Mex around 38th and walnut
Marthon Grill 40th and walnut


Other than that, you're waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better off going out in center city/old city...

If she's way west in Manayunk (where I live fool)
go to Hikaru or US Hotel or Bella Trattoria

yes, there's an ethiopian place called abyssinia at 46th and locust. its the [censored].

[smokingrobot]

there's a swankier ethiopian place called Dalek, i forget the address, but the food isnt as good.

[smokingrobot]

i would suggest the Dalek as the first date, btw, only because its much nicer looking etc. Abyssinia has the best food, but it looks like a dumpy hole in the wall. I prefer that, but your first date might not.

[smokingrobot]

And why just west philly? there's a [censored] load of good places in center city and its not a far drive/cab ride from west philly. what are you looking to spend and what kind of food are you looking for?

$160-200 bucks for appetizer 2 entrees and some wine including tip will get you an incredible meal at Alma De Cuba, which is on Walnut.

There's a damn good french restaurant at 12th and walnut called Caribou Cafe (not to be confused with the coffee chain).

i can recommend more if you want.

Also in West philly, there's a Thai place at 40th and Chestnut right on the south west corner, i cant remember the name, but its not bad.

place on the southwest is Pattaya Grill. incidentally there's another Thai place about 50 yards away on the northeast side called Thai Singha. essentially the same restaurant but i think Pattaya Grill is better imo.

even though it's irrelevant to this thread, since you posted srs advice, i'll chime in that abyssinia is killer. when I go to philly though, it's straight to lorenzo and son's for a slice.
