"Stop: 40th St. Station (Market-Frankford Line) If you don’t live in West Philly, taking a trip over the river can seem like a voyage similar to the one Chance, Sassy, and Shadow take in Homeward Bound. But when you’re hanging out inside a heated SEPTA car, it doesn’t seem all that far. And if you’re going to Dim Sum House, the train essentially brings you right to their front door. We especially like this place because you can get a full, sit-down dinner here until 1am with things like soup dumplings and beef-stuffed scallion pancakes. They also have a full bar with a pool table, so you can turn this into a night out and delay your inevitable journey back home through the frozen tundra." - sydney mcelwee
