Thanks Clara!
I'm also a big fan of both Ebert and the caption contest.

Hi Clara, your reviews are interesting and a great read for a "Roxborough Lifer" like myself. With Family and Work responsibilities, I don't get to dine out often. But I did just have out of town guests, and was looking for something not too pricey, and a bit "different". We found it at the Urban Cafe - Down in the Wissahichon section - Between Manayunk and Roxborough. Was a pleasant surprise - very nice, above T-Hogans Pub, by the Wissahickon Train Station. Interesting menu items, and Chef Pat is quite a Character. He lives local, buys local, and has been for years. If you can fit it in, you should pay the place a visit. Try the Captain Crunch Chicken Appetizer!
Thanks for Writing,
Peace - Mike K.
