by Kenneth N. on Let's start with the biggest positives. Front Page News has a nice patio and fountain. In fact, without the patio I wouldn't even stop by. I've spent a number of early Sunday afternoons chilling, reading a paper and drinking a couple of beers. Also on Sundays, they have a band until 4 or 4:30pm and a bloody mary bar. The staff is friendly but I consider the food average. It's worth a visit. I here that late weekends it can get interesting too. It would make a good addition to a bar hop, but I'm not certain I would want to camp out there for hours.
by Garth Chretien on Oh clubs. I never really go to them if I have a say in it, but since I was rollin deep with some co-workers and it was a Thrillist party, I silenced my exnay on the clubsay vote and tagged along. When we walked in it was a sardine-packed dance floor and the crazy strobe lights were everywhere. Since it was Internet week there were tech geeks everywhere with loosened ties and glasses and definitely quite a few rolled up sleeves to be counted. I then looked on stage and saw what looked like, Daft Punk? Really? At a Thrillist party? Hmmm. The gals I was with swore up and down that it was really them, but having served a bit of time in the music industry and knowing how hard they are to work with, I highly doubted it, but wasn't going to rain on their parade :) And so after roaming the room, the many levels, having some strong drinks and talking to some tech geeks, we went down to the dance floor and I did what scientists like to refer to as, shook a tail feather to the funky beats. I was actually kinda having fun with it all until, "that guy" showed up. We all know, "that guy." You know the kinda pervy, no talking Euro-trash dude who looks like he is either on something or trying to lure you in with his passionate Fabio-esque stare as he stands in front of you like a serial killer. Very sexy....if you have no standards or taste. Well, "that guy" was making his move and going in for what I can only assume was a move he saw Eric Neise do on MTV's 'The Grind' back in the 90's, but being a ninja-like escape artist, I smirked and walked away. About 15 minutes later, hunger hit and we decided to bounce, but not before glancing back at Daft Prank and spotting "that guy" dancing on stage with some girl in a floral print mom dress who was falling for it. Ahhh, new love.
by cherie c. on It's a mall. It has the usual mall stores. But it is right off the SEPTA hi-speed line, so it is convenient. Anchor stores have some good sales. At Christmas time they have some fun displays.
