The Hit List: New Philadelphia Restaurants To Try Right Now

"Roxanne, the one-woman show previously located in the Italian Market, is back in a bigger, boozier space in Society Hill. The new iteration still does the DIY, anti-establishment thing, but now with a tasting menu and a la carte service. Sometimes the bizarre dishes are a great success—we loved the Pepto-pink “green salad” and the raw cheesesteak on rye bread blanketed in homemade american whiz. Other menu moments feel like experiments for the sake of experimentalism, especially in the case of tater tots paired with a mandarin orange and panna cotta, and an incredibly salty burger on the dessert menu. It’s all a bit perplexing. It’s occasionally off-putting. And we can’t wait to go back." - candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, candis mclean, candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, alison kessler, alison kessler, candis mclean, candis mclean, candis mclean
