"We know, we know—memberships are annoying. But it’s worth getting one to this cool South Philly club (and it’s not even hard to do). Grab a seat at the vintage bar and pair one of their excellent house cocktails with the king salmon crudo and a bowl of creste di gallo. Even though you came alone, you’ll probably end up chatting with the friendly staff or fellow members, so you’ll get a great meal and a chance to feel pretty hip, however temporary." - alison kessler
