***** Common Bar and Brill at 36th
and Market. West Philadelphia.
I went here by myself on my birthday
and really enjoyed myself.
I had shrimps and rice and a piece of
chocolate cake and seltzer water in place of an
Alcoholic drink ( I don’t drink
alcohol due to the medicine I take). I
liked the food and
Service so well, I decided to go again
soon after my first visit. Highly recommended.
*****Govinda’s Gourmet Vegetarian
Restaurant 1408 South Street. PHONE: - 1 - 215 – 985 - 9303
Their web page says they
are ``a Philadelphia tradition since
1985.’’ I have been going to this delightful eatery since they were open way
back in the early days!
The food is very good
and very vegan, but you can get things like real mozzarella cheese on your vegan
chicken cheese steak; the soups are great ( not too spicy ) ; and most of the
desserts are made with no milk products or eggs. You can also get spinach or tomato Wraps that
are mostly vegetable, or you can get meat-like substitutes for real meat that
are tender, juicy and tasty. ( I
actually owe them $24.00 because they were kind enough to extend me credit when
a Brother ( me ) was low on cash a few months ago. ) Many meals are also Halal
and Kosher. Most major credit cards are
accepted, call for open hours. THANK YOU GOVINDA’S!
*****McCormick and Schmick Seafood & Steaks at
1 South Broad Street in
Philadelphia. ( near Broad and Chestnut Street ) - 1 – 215 – 568 – 6888.
A few weeks after my
last birthday, when I turned 63, I went to McCormick and Schmick Seafood &
Steaks in Philadelphia with a friend and had grilled Salmon stuffed with shrimps
and crab. My companion had Grilled Sea
Bass which He said was superb. The portion ( for me) was small, but I really enjoyed the food and
shared a house salad with a friend of mine.
( Being that I am learning how to eat less and enjoy more, I didn’t mind
the smaller portions). Instead of
alcohol -- I had seltzer water with lemon and skipped the desserts as I am
working on avoiding sugar and butter. If this sounds austere, please remember
that when someone is treating you out to dinner, it is best not to over
indulge. ( Please look for dining books
on etiquette for BLACK Youth). The food was great and I know for sure, I
cannot prepare food like this because I am NOT a trained chef, even though I
have my Serv.Safe certificate. Call for
hours and locations or look on their Web Page for more information.
