I'm running out of places to eat with her and I can't do another meal at Famous Deli, Bennies, or any other jewish-style deli/restaurant. She's an old school Jewish grandmother who leans towards corned beef, whitefish salad, knishes. We've gone to Country Club, Franks, Jack's. She's not into ethnic foods. Wed Aug 22 07:15:26 -0700 2007 108133 bumble 1 2869588 Stevie Stein's on Krewstown Road. Wed Aug 22 09:41:33 -0700 2007 2869029 121238 gakski 2 2871657 isn't Stevie Stein's the same as Famous Deli? I would suggest Andonio's on Krewstown Road. My folks refer to it as "their kitchen". Wed Aug 22 18:21:00 -0700 2007 2869588 14211 brightman 1 2872901 Take her to Picanha on Castor Avenue, which used to be the Gingham House. She'll enjoy the salad bar, and selected slices of meat. Thu Aug 23 07:09:12 -0700 2007 2869029 47339 Hardart 2 2876891 I persuaded her one day to go to Picanha, and she basically ate nothing but the salad. I really enjoyed it though, but it's not g-mom's thing Fri Aug 24 07:02:56 -0700 2007 2872901 108133 bumble 1 2873395 does it have to be in the northeast? Thu Aug 23 09:02:03 -0700 2007 2869029 14941 mazza3 2 2876897 Unfortunately yes. She does drive, and we live in South Jersey. So, to pick her up and then drive into center city and drive back, drop her off and head home leads to a very long night. Fri Aug 24 07:05:57 -0700 2007 2873395 108133 bumble 1 2873440 I am so all over this! I grew up in NE/Bustleton and go back to visit my mom often. Stein's in Krewstown is indeed a fantastic recommendation for good Jewish food.But I understand you've had your fill! I'd also recommend Gallo's on the Blvd, Nichol's seafood on Castor, and Kelly's seafood on Bustleton. Just for a change of scenery, but sticking with Jewish/diner food, there's Tiffany's at Welsh and the Blvd. Of these suggestions, Gallo's is my favorite. The last time I was there I had fantastic crab cakes (with salad and 2 sides). www.piealamona.blogspot.com Thu Aug 23 09:09:46 -0700 2007 2869029 65673 monavano 2 2876902 thanks! I'll be ready the next time we have dinner, probably next week, and hit her with those choices. She does enjoy a good crab cake.

Hasn't Gallo's come a long way since it first opened on the blvd.? It was a total blue hair place, but has undergone expansions and upgrades to the interior. It's actually quite a nice atmoshere now, and has retained good prices. Their website is slick too! http://www.gallos-seafood.com/ Fri Aug 24 08:55:42 -0700 2007 2877220 65673 monavano
