660958 Tue Oct 20 11:19:16 -0700 2009 9 15 Pennsylvania 0 5117522 I am planning (already) my company's holiday party and am tired of going to the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. I know that Center City is out, but are there some good restaurants in any Philadelphia neighborhood that has free, off-street parking? I can use as many suggestions as possible and I need places that will accommodate a few vegetarians. Thanks.

They are in deep South Philly... http://www.popisrestaurant.com/ Tue Oct 20 11:48:35 -0700 2009 5117522 10753 Philly Ray 1 5117659 How many people are you talking about? Tue Oct 20 11:58:47 -0700 2009 5117522 76938 Bigley9 2 5118855 15-23 people Tue Oct 20 20:33:44 -0700 2009 5117659 61972 rockpile 1 5117748 Konak is a fun, Turkish restaurant in Old City with many vegetarian options, and a parking lot: http://www.konakturkishrestaurant.com/ Zocalo in Powelton Village serves contemporary Mexican food, with a smallish parking lot: http://www.zocalophilly.com/ By holiday time, the former Abbraccio at 47th off of Baltimore in University City should be open as a Vietnamese restaurant under same owners as "Vietnam" and "Vietnam Cafe." They have lots of free parking and a separate room for a party. As Bigley asks, it would be most helpful to know the size of the group you wish to accommodate. Tue Oct 20 12:30:54 -0700 2009 5117522 147093 Seeker19104 2 5118857 15-23 people. Thanks Tue Oct 20 20:34:30 -0700 2009 5117748 61972 rockpile 3 5145241 There is no parking, but close to public transportation and plenty of nearby pkg lots is Giorgio on Pine, it is right off avenue of the arts between 13th and Broad, they have a room elevated above the restaurant that I saw set up for a party once and it looked beautiful. It is however BYOB. Sat Oct 31 11:18:30 -0700 2009 5118857 270426 bonappetite 1 5145354 La Fourno on South Street has handled our holiday party group extremely well for the past two years. With 20 people you can pretty much get the whole upstairs to yourselves, 3-4 choices of entree (including a vegetarian one). It works out really well for us, though I will warn that Saturday nights in December are probably all booked at this point (I know for sure Dec 5 & 12 are). No free off-street parking though. Sat Oct 31 12:35:18 -0700 2009 5117522 267087 sockii 1 5147009 Moonstruck in NE Phila has good Itaian food and small private rooms that would accomodate your party - and free parking. Very convenient to Mont Co and Bucks Co Sun Nov 01 11:01:07 -0800 2009 5117522 76938 Bigley9 2 5147166 A second for Moonstruck. I've written about this place before, it's one of our favorites.
