Good Eats near U of Penn Hospital

I'm taking my dad to the U of P Hospital on Monday and would like to know if anyone has any tips for me on a good lunch spot.

    If you're not looking for a sit-down place, I recommend one of the many trucks on campus.

    Don Nemo (sp) burritos, tacos, & tortas - 38th & Sansom
    Magic Carpet, Vegetarian fare - 36th & Spruce
    Crepe truck on Spruce btw 36th & 37th

    Sit-down -

    Try Lemongrass at 36th & Lancaster. 3 courses for under $10. Service can be a little rushed.

      We like the lunch at Nan, 40th and Chestnut. Street (meters) parking is available.
      Love their pad thai and their crabcake.
      Some places are closed on Mondays; it might be wise to check.

        The White Dog on Sansom -- choose from either the bar or restaurant.

          Pod is good and very close by. They have bento box lunch specials that are good and pretty decent sushi.
