by Tyler Rolls on This place is sooo awesome! came here for a bachelorette party. SO MUCH fun! We had a large table and my friend chose a preset menu. Everything was yum! The garlic noodles, the star potato with caviar, ribs, chicken salad, and the dessert..wooow! Def go here and do a preset. They only have certain times because of the show, we went for the 7 and had good parking for a Saturday in SF. The show is amazing! Are you sure these were or are still men? They are too pretty and have very womanly bodies...I'm not going to lie, I was jealous of some of them!! Their dancing was awesome. Service is awesome, too! Very helpful and nice. Downstairs, there is a lounge. Kinda small but enough space to shake ass and have a good time! Def would recommend this place to everyone!
by Deangelo Radish on Wow. Everyone must be from the rich 'burbs or Paris because I certainly don't feel as if the Gallery is the worst mall ever (think: Cheltenham). I commute on the EL frequently, since I go to school in center Philly. Over the last three years, I've been at this place practically every weekend. It's a diverse mall with a mixture of the good, the bad, and (mostly) ugly. I've had fond memories of when my dad used to take me here. I remember those bright lights from the smaller food court, getting a slice of pizza, and riding the EL home. It seemed much better back then, especially when Strawbrige's was still open. I would rub the lucky boar's nose with the support of my mom. (Are they even planning to re-open that empty space? Unless it's that new casino) Those days are gone. A rundown: The Bad and the Disgusting The gallery has gone downhill. You see bums everywhere (really...one stalked me a whole day!)- at the market street entrance, in between doors, everywhere. The bathrooms are not the most pleasant.... However, they just refurbished the women's bathroom, so it isn't half as bad as it used to be. Yes, the place is a bit 'ghetto' with the sneaker stores and all, but you can choose to not be imtimidated. Just walk on and ignore. Really, things aren't so bad. Some of the stores are basically the same..I don't see why they can stick all of 'em together. The elevators near Border's and the Dollar Store don't work either. Also, there are limited 'healthy' choices that you can make, but I digress. The Good Good thing is that it connects many train services like the EL or regional rail. And, there's a cinnabon near there, so you can smell its aroma wafting around. There's a Five Below in the second floor- it's a cheap and convenient store for people of all ages. If you're a lover of junk food like me, you'll like the food court. They have two chicken joints- Popeye's and KFC, as well as Tiffany's Bakery, and an assortment of other places you'll expect to find. The Gallery comes with stores where you can get your basic stuff, though I'm not particularly fond of Old Navy or K-Mart. There's Modell's, FYE, Border's, and other everyday stores. I think the gym closed, but I find it odd that there's a dentistry in here. Really, if you're looking for Coach or LV, get out of here.The Gallery isn't up to those standards anymore, and it probably won't be for a while. I would say, head over to King of Prussia or something. In the end, the Gallery would just be your average mall, if not on the lower rungs of quality. Still, I'd rather go here than go where Hollister tweens shop at (Neshaminy, KOP).
by William V. on (One star for the food because you can't select no star, but four stars for the live music and the DJ) I had dinner at Hollywood Studio Bar and Grill last night and I afraid I don't have a lot of nice things to say about the food. My best experience last night at the restaurant was the live music by Adonis Puentes. I ordered the house special paella and I regretted my decision at my first bite. I've had paella at many places; some good, some bad and some terrible. My paella last night was definitely in the terrible category. The paella I ordered came with two half-dollar size scallops, about four or five large shrimps, about ten mussels (in shells), chunks of chickens and sausages. What about the taste? Salty, soggy and oily just about cover the whole experience. The mussels were not fresh and completely rubbery. The chicken pieces were very dry. And there was a pool of oil at the bottom of the plate! I was not pleased with the dish at all. The paella cost $16.95 but it was $16.95 too expensive for that kind of quality. I would definitely avoid ordering the paella next time; that is if I would ever go back to that place again.
