"Murph’s is the most Philadelphia place in Philadelphia. It’s really just a dive bar with a few small tables in the back and one guy cooking a ton of pasta in the kitchen. It’s definitely not the place you probably imagined yourself taking your next date, but it’s a fun option that’s definitely way different from all of the wine bars her last five Tinder dates took her to. If you do it right, your table should look like a Tetris board of pasta plates, and you should share everything - especially the lobster ravioli." - sydney mcelwee
