Hey, RC Members,
It’s no secret that we love lists, which is why we were psyched to peruse the Top 50 Bars list that Foobooz put together. It turns out that good food has a lot to do with how we feel about our bars. Did your favorite one make the cut? And because we love guides as much as lists (and knishes), we’ve put together a guide to Jewish delis — find out how Center City’s two newcomers fare against classic spots. Lastly, be the first to check out our reviews from the October issue (which hits stands next week). By the way, would you be interested in going to a cocktail event for free? We thought so. Find out details here.
