Swanky Bubbles Fire

Flames were seen at the 3rd Street location of popular restaurant Swanky Bubbles this morning. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation. It'll be closed at least for today. We'd bet tomorrow, too!

Restaurant Week!

It's September, which can only mean one thing. Well, it probably can mean a lot of things, but one is the coming of Restaurant Week, Center City's twice-yearly cheap eats fest. Inflation set in this year, with 3 course dinners for $35 instead of the old standy $30, but it's still a good deal - IF you know how to go about it. Jilladelphia recommends this time of year for trying out a new BYO. That way, you're only paying for your food, and not padding the bill with alcohol, the quickest way to lose any possible Restaurant Week savings!
