With a new client in Philadelphia, it looks I’ll be around town a bit more. After 25 years of living in Philly, it’s great to have a new opportunity to visit on a more regular basis.
Anyways, wanted to see if there was interest in dinner on 5/28. Despite my client being in Newtown Square, I’m staying in Center City. I will bring wine with me.
Anyone interested?
Wouldn’t be available on the 27th (Memorial Day) but may be able to swing the 28th especially if you end up doing it out towards Newtown Square. I am actually a few miles from Newtown Square.
Should be able to do Tuesday 28th.
i had forgotten that Monday was Memorial Day, so I pulled that date out.
I should be able to do the 28th.
great, any thoughts on a venue? if most (or more) folks live out in the burbs I could change my hotel to something in the KoP area.
How about The Farm & Fisherman (farm to table), definitely one of the best BYOBs in Philly now, and there are openings on OpenTable.
Or Koo Zee Doo (Portugese) and Kanella (Cypriot), a couple of favorites I haven’t been to in a while.
Not sure what’s around Newtown Sq, unless Blackfish in Conshohocken. They will have their Tuesday $45 tasting menu special going on. I’m in the burbs too, but have no problem driving downtown for good food.
Or here’s an idea, how about Marigold Kitchen? University City, so outskirts of the city. I’ve never been, but it’s supposed to be great. 6:30PM res available for 4 on OpenTable.
i’ll leave the reservation up to you guys - all of those options sound great.
I ate at Marigold two weeks ago, pretty interesting molecular cuisine, with mandatory 4/5/6 course meals for $50/60/70 or so. LONG service time.
Sorry to miss you this time around Matt.
One of these days…
Marigold is fine but parking there can be a bitch.
How does Marigold sound to you Steve?
Kevin - Marigold sounds good to me but at this point I am still trying to finalize my travel schedule for that week. I am a maybe at best so I would plan without me. Thanks, Steve
No problem Steve, let me know…
I went ahead and made a reservation for Marigold for 4 people at 6:30PM on Tuesday May 28th.

Thanks Kevin.
Looking forward to the evening.
What kind of wines should we open? I’ll plan on carrying wine with me.
I am a no go as I have a big presentation the next morning.
Sorry for the late response… I’m interested if there’s room for one more.
Looks like Matt canceled his trip.
Maybe next time.
Catch you next time Matt.
