"The Dining Car has been around since the first man went to space in 1961. And if you come at night when its chrome exterior becomes neon-lit, you’ll feel out of time. But there are some things that draw you back to the present when you walk in, like a book trolley in the dining room with Outlander on it. Like most places on this list, this Holmesburg diner serves heavy, “Am I seeing double?” portions. You can order a three-egg Spanish omelet or signature apple walnut stuffed french toast (our favorite) and have enough leftovers for lunch, or dinner when you wrap up the rest of Outlander on a Kindle at home.   " - candis mclean

The People's Fridge

Food bank · Walnut Hill

"Our vision is to provide community members with fresh food and essentials as a free resource. On one level, The People’s Fridge is a way to combat hunger in underserved communities during a pandemic and an economic crisis. We believe that food is a human right and should never be a privilege, but it is. This community fridge is a mutual aid, meaning, community members have equal responsibility filling, maintaining, and caring for it lovingly. Our fridge runs on a ‘take what you need, leave what you don't’ basis. Part of our purpose is to create a resource people can fall back on, trust, and rely on to be there without repercussions. The People's Fridge is dedicated in memory of our father, K. Parikh."
