by Bradley N. on CdN: tetracycle haiku* (a) Is music a need? To avoid atrophy, yes: Not the brain, the soul. (b) A darkened room: red Walls enclose us. Hot, heat, haze. From a tap flows gold. (c) Four voices, guitar: Harmony, melody, more. Sound echoes through gloom. ( http://www.longlivecha...) (d) My ears, still they ring. Strings of a heart once torn pull Me close to you (kiss).

by Nick Cockrin on must you even ask!?!?! the gallery is the most ghettoest MALL EVER!! it FREAKIN REEKS OF PISS. i swear to god! the last time i ever went to this mall was in high school, when there wasnt much ghetto and then i never went back there after hs. so recently i went back there because its the only place i know that do screening tshirts and omfg, it was torture! I smelled piss and major B.O. all up in there, and it was just filled of just ghetto people, ghetto workers, ghetto everything. I went to aldo's outlet, just to see the shoes, ...i just dont even want to talk about it. lol. nobody goes here anymore, why go here if there's stores all around you in center city shopping area. i will never go back to the gallery nor suggest anyone to go there. that's why i say philly's 80% ghetto. just go to the gallery and youll see. it's not what it used to be 7 years ago. lol
by nicole g. on My boyfriend and I come here every year for our anniversary and it gets better each time. The atmosphere is young and vibrant- I respect and admire when a restaraunt puts 110% into their decor leaving no element forgotten. The dim lighting, the huge buddha in the back, the asian inspired light fixtures, the japanese writing on the ceilings, all of it is a great combination and I admire the decorator. The food (not the sushi rolls) is to die for. I recommend the sashimi of Kobe Beef with fresh wasabi. The dish you CANNOT go without is the Kobe Beef Shabu Shabu. There is nothing better! You cook the beef in broth right on the table. Its a fun dish and the taste is to die for. The rolls, in particular the King Crab Roll, are suprisingly very fishy and I would steer clear! The waitors are unpretenious and extremely helpful. The hotesses are rude and snobby which always baffles me! Even if you have a reservatin expect to wait! Thats fine though because the bar area is like a mini nightclub and the drinks are really good- one of the most enjoyable bellinis I've had to date. All in all a great place to go- it never disappoints!
