Festivities

We don’t think food reviewers should only cover restaurants that have coat checks and good stemware but why cover a place that doesn’t seem to be into the food they serve? But that’s where City Paper heads this week in their review of Festivals in West Philadelphia.

It’s clear that the space, with its sunny yellow- and orange-striped walls, list of tropical-flavored cocktails and busy calendar of soca and dance-hall DJ nights, is — at least for now — more geared toward the party crowd than the dining one. In fact, the servers all seemed a bit surprised that we’d shown up expecting to be fed.
