"This all-day American spot in Fishtown is one of the rare places that works for everything from a laptop lunch to a drunken night out. It's a little bananas inside: picture Princess Diana posters, toilet seats designed with Peanut Chews, pool tables, and bar seats. And the cocktails and spins on diner classics are just as thoughtful and fun. Come for a light, syrup-slicked stack of pancakes in the morning, reliable sandwiches for lunch, some of the city's best drinks all day, and a great burger at night. On the weekends, attempt to be the first person to walk into the restaurant. Or, you can take an “emergency” day off from work and stop by on a weekday (when it’s less crowded)." - candis mclean, alison kessler
