"Liberty Kitchen makes Philly classics new again, like a roast pork sandwich with chianti provolone spread or an Italian hoagie with a tangy red pepper and a rtichoke spread . And that accomplishment should come with a key to the city. The Fishtown shop is a deli, sure. But it's also the kind of place to hang out with friends for a month straight. There are a couple of tables inside, potted plants on every ledge, and a cartoon Gritty saying "feed me." Gritty's request is reasonable, considering you'll have the same excited expression biting into a slice of olive-oil-drenched tomato pie or maybe an egg and cheese on a kaiser roll. And if Fishtown is just a little too far from your house, go to Liberty Kitchen's University City location inside Two Locals Brewing. " - Candis R. McLean
