Eater Classics Week 2015 | Eater Philly

"Founded in 1892, the Pen & Pencil Club — the actual press association and an after-hours refuge for journalists and service workers — is the oldest group of its kind; it has occupied five different homes over the years (including the notorious Latimer Street dive it now inhabits) and has staunch defenders who will tell you it’s amazing. A menu from a 1906 press dinner reinforces the sense that the club has long been a little bit remarkable." - Eater Staff
