Triangle Tavern

"Triangle Tavern is exactly what it sounds like: a triangle-shaped bar on a corner of East Passyunk in South Philly. There’s a long draft list, wines by the crate, and 80-proof water ice (we’re guessing). This all adds up to a good place to grab a weeknight drink with an old friend or drink until you take selfies with the Gritty mural out front. This dive also has a pretty extensive Italian-leaning food menu with things like polenta fries, solid chicken parmesan with handmade spaghetti, and vegan pizzas." - Candis R. McLean

"Fast-casual Algorithm Vegan Grill opened in Queen Village recently, adding a fixed location for Algorithm Food Truck’s flavor-packed vegan fare — seitan cheesesteaks with Calabrian chile Whiz, watermelon “tuna” tacos, and Korean barbecue fries, among others — plus rotating milkshake flavors like carrot cake and raspberry-sumac. Check Algorithm’s Instagram if you’re trying to track down the cerulean-blue truck, which pulls up at places such as Philadelphia Brewing Company." - Ernest Owens, Grace Dickinson

"Triangle Tavern is the perfect spot to chow down on a vegan cheesesteak, featuring locally made seitan and housemade “Whiz.”" - Robert DiGiacomo

"Triangle Tavern is exactly what it sounds like: a triangle-shaped bar on a corner of East Passyunk in South Philly. In a lot of ways, it’s similar to other bars in the area - it has a long draft list and makes for a good place to grab a weeknight beer with an old friend. This bar, though, has excellent Italian food like homemade pasta, polenta fries, and vegan pizzas if meat isn’t your thing." - sydney mcelwee

"A bowl of mussels, a massive portion of eggplant parm, maybe a plate of the day’s bruschetta — these are all the makings of a great late-night dinner in true South Philly fashion. Red-gravy joint Triangle Tavern was a neighborhood staple in its heyday and now, reopened and serving food until 1 a.m., it has become one again." - Carolyn Desalu, Sarah Maiellano, Rachel Vigoda
