Love & Food
Once the Thanksgiving table is set with a feast at my aunt's
house, my relatives crowd around to take in the glorious
smells and sights of the meal. There’s turkey and stuffing
of course, but there’s also roasted pernil (pork shoulder)
and yuca, symbolic representations of my family’s Cuban
heritage. Joyous conversations in Spanglish and laughter fill the air as we
all dig in. No matter where your family is from, Thanksgiving is about love
and food, and love for food. This month, share a meal with family and
friends at restaurants that focus on family-style dining.
Build your own Philadelphia itinerary at wheretraveler.com.
>> TRADITIONAL EATS
>>SPANISH FARE
On Nov. 27, City Tavern (138
S. Second St., 215.413.1443,
citytavern.com) hosts a traditional Thanksgiving Day dinner, served with all the trimmings. Created by celebrated
chef-and-owner Walter
Staib, the family-style menu
includes roasted, free-range
turkey with sage and marjoram stuffing and a decadent
dessert tray. Won’t be in
town on Turkey Day? Stop by
the Tavern any time of year
to experience the authentic
colonial atmosphere, complete with servers in period
attire.
When it comes to eating
tapas, it’s not all about the
food, but the experience
of slowly sipping red wine
and enjoying the company
you’re with. The dark wood
and flickering candles at
Amada (217-219 Chestnut
St., 215.625.2450, amadarestaurant.com) set the
atmosphere for doing just
that. Opt for the chef’s selection of tapas and Spanish
wine tasting or go for the
advance-order-only roasted
suckling pig, served with
herb roasted potatoes and
rosemary white beans.
where in the world
>>ASIAN STREET FOOD
Chef Michael Schulson’s stylish Sampan (124 S. 13th St.,
215.732.3501, sampanphilly.
com) in Midtown Village
embraces the flavors of modern Asian street food served
up tapas style. The signature
edamame dumplings, pork
belly bao buns, soy glazed
Chilean sea bass and crispy
Brussels sprouts—trust me
on this one—are mustorders. Sampan also offers a
chef tasting menu that features seven selections, plus
dessert. The soft serve here
comes in irresistible mini ice
cream cones.

DATES
NOVEMBER 1-9: Meet the Weeki Wachee Mermaids
The Mermaids of Weeki Wachee Springs, Florida are swimming north to Adventure Aquarium this
fall. This underwater acrobatics show began in 1947 when Newton Perry, a former US Navy man,
invented a method of breathing underwater from a free-flowing air hose, which eliminated the
need for an oxygen tank strapped onto the back and gave the appearance of breathing underwater at depths up to 20 feet. Take seat at the Ocean Realm Dive Theater, and watch the fishtail-performers do acrobatics among the fish, sea turtles, sharks and stingrays. 1 Riverside Drive, Camden,

CUISINE SCENE
Feast Your Way
Around The World
To be a true dining destination, a city must
be an epicenter of four-star, global, culinary
delights. Certainly, Philadelphia has forever
embraced great and internationally-renowned
restaurants serving French and Italian fare. It is
only recently that this city has achieved an ethnic totality that allows visitors and Philly locals
alike to enjoy the fruits of all lands. Here’s a
great sampling of global eats. BY A.D. AMOROSI

Circles Contemporary Cuisine
(812 N. Second St., 267.687.1309/1514
Tasker St., 267.687.1778 ) in South
Philly and Northern Liberties is
where it started for Boonphaya.
The menu is focused on rich,
zesty dishes such as lump crabmeat rangoon, seared magret
duck breast, pumpkin curry, a
seasonal favorite, young peppercorn and white ginger-based Pad
Ped stir fry and noodle specialties galore.
Hiroyuki Tanaka’s Zama (128
S. 19th St., 215.568.1027) in Rittenhouse Square is a darling for
sushi lovers. Order up sushi, maki
or sashmini to share with the
table, and then go for the grilled
fare, such as the Hibachi scallops
or black cod saikyoyaki.
8 SPOTS FOR GLOBAL EATS
You’d think that with its awardwinning Zahav and recentlyopened hummusiya Dizengoff,
Philadelphia’s CookNSolo team
would have completed their
trek through the Israeli/Jewish
Diaspora. Not quite. They’ve gone
the extra mile with Abe Fisher (1623
Sansom St., 215.867.0088) where chefand-owner Michael Solomonov

Chef Pierre Calmels and his
wife, Charlotte–the team
behind the homey Bibou in South
Philadelphia and the tony
Le Chéri (251 S. 18th St.,
215.546.7700) at Rittenhouse
Square’s Philadelphia Art Alliance
building–understand that great
French cuisine is as cozy as it is
cosmopolitan. Le Chéri focuses
on the sophisticated end of the
spectrum with adventurous,
classicist fare such as lapin (rabbit
ballotine with pickled red cabbage and chestnut), choucroute
(a hearty sauerkraut, home-made
sausage, braised pork belly
blend), and escargot.
3
Abe Fisher
and co-chef Yehuda Sichel cook
Jewish food from around the
world, with roasted salmon, sweet
and sour meatballs, and the byadvance-order-only Montreal-style
smoked short ribs among their
specialties. Wash it down with a
“Sherry Bobbins,” made with Corralejo Blanco Tequila, honey and
celery, or a signature “Abe Fisher
Cocktail” of Beefeater 24 gin and
dill pickle juice.
In this town, Alex Boonphaya
is king of Thai cuisine with
the recent opening of South
Street’s Thai-Mexican mix Tuk
Midtown Village’s Lolita (106
S. 13th St., 215.546.7100) holds
its own amongst the authentic
Mexican eateries found in South
Philadelphia’s Italian Market area.
Chef Marcie Turney and her partner Valerie Safran—the doyennes
behind restaurants Barbuzzo,
Little Nonna’s, and more—serve
up large portions of their take
on Mexican flavors, including
cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork
shoulder) and crispy fish tacos
with blue corn, both of which go
great with cocktails like the bourbon tamarind sour and cucumber
marghertia.

Brauhaus Schmitz

Brauhaus Schmitz
Brauhaus Schmitz (718 South
St., 267.909.8814) is Philadelphia’s
only true German bierhall and
cuisine-haus, complete with
waitresses dressed like native
maidens. Chef Jeremy Nolen’s
killer menu features dense kartoffelpuffer (potato pancakes), wolfbarsch (seared branzino), onion
spaetzle and the best wursts on
the East Coast. For a truly authentic experience, dinner should be
paired with a stein of German
beer, such as Paulaner Hefeweizen, Schneider Weisse Original or
Würzburger Festbier.
8
The darkly sensual IndeBlue
(205 S. 13th St., 215.545.4633)
in Midtown Village is a more intimate experience than its sister
salon in Collingswood, NJ, but
its tastes are equally as imaginative and alluring. While happy
hour fanatics will be happier
still about its Drums of Heaven
(battered wings with blue cheese
crumble), gluten-free fans will
feast upon items such as poppy
seed chukander lamb chops with
beets and green chili, seafood
moilee of crab and shrimp with
mustard seed, coconut and
curry leaf over lemon rice, and a
handsome vegetarian selection
featuring tandoor roasted eggplant mash.
5
Pub & Kitchen
Though chef Eli Collins
advertises his dark and cozy
corner tavern Pub & Kitchen
(1946 Lombard St., 215.545.0350)
as having distinct European flair,
many of his meals—be it brunch
or late night bites—are distinctly
inspired by British fare. Go for the
roasted Lancaster chicken with
smoked mushroom barley,
Berkshire pork chop with artichokes or the roasted squid with
grilled celery.

Happily Ever Afters
This fall, tales of princes and princesses, and fairy

town. The high-flying fun of Broadway’s
Mary Poppins lands on the stage of the Walnut Street Theatre, Nov. 4-Jan. 4 (825 Walnut St.,
215.574.3550). You’ll be singing along with the songs
from the classic Disney film, including “Chim Chim
Cher-ee,”“A Spoonful of Sugar,” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” See the timeless tale of a lady
meeting her prince charming at Rodger + Hammerstein’s Cinderella, at the Academy of Music (240
S. Broad St., 215.893.1999), Nov. 25-30. In this modern
Broadway musical adaptation, Cinderella is a contemporary figure living in a fairytale setting. Expect
surprising twists but count on the glass slippers
and pumpkin carriage making an apperance. You
think you know the story of Beauty and the Beast?
Think again. In the Arden Theatre’s (40 N. Second St.,
215.922.8900) version, on view Nov. 26-Feb. 1, two
sisters—Cassandra and Belle—leave London after
their father loses the family fortune. When Belle meets
the Beast, she embarks on a fantastical adventure.

Since 2005, founders Christine Cox and Matthew Neenan
have brought internationally renowned dancers and choreographers to Philadelphia to challenge how contemporary
ballet is defined. The resident dance company of The Wilma
Theater BalletX opens its ninth season with “Fall Series 2014,”
from Nov. 19-23. The program showcases a world premier
work by Jorma Elo, “Instantly Bound” by Olivier Wevers and
Matthew Neenan’s “Increasing,” which features New York
City Ballet principal dancers Tiler Peck and Robert Fairchild, alongside the BalletX dancers.
“Fall Series 2014” exposes the raw

My Philadelphia
MY PERFECT DAY
7 am
Coffee and Cookies
I'll order an almond latte for myself,
a hot chocolate for my son David
and possibly a cookie at Menagerie
Coffee. We like to hang outside at a
table. 18 S. Third St., no phone,
menageriecoffee.com
Rocky Steps
It’s hard to get out of the restaurant
to eat lunch, but there’s always time
for a bowl of hand-drawn noodle
soup, extra spicy, with my business
partner Steve Cook at Nan Zhou
Hand Drawn Noodle House in Chinatown. 1022 Race St., 215.923.1550,
nanzhounoodlehouse.com
Michael Solomonov
[Entrepreneur, Chef, Documentarian, Dad]
Not many chefs would take on the challenge of opening
two restaurants at the same time. This summer, that’s exactly what Michael Solomonov, chef and entrepreneur behind
the CookNSolo restaurant group, did with his partner Steve
Cook. Abe Fisher and traditional hummusiya Dizengoff join
a list of hit restaurants like Zahav and Federal Donuts. We
sat down with Solomonov to chat about food, his upcoming documentary filmed in his homeland Israel and travel.
What is the must-try dish
at Abe Fisher?
The gefilte fish. Most people
know it as dumplings, but
the real gefilte fish is stuffed.
We make it traditionally but
glaze it so it’s not entirely
traditional. It’s a really great
way to eat it.
Dizengoff
Let’s talk about Dizengoff,
the hummusiya found next
door to Abe Fisher. What is
your favorite hummus?
Call me a sucker for plain,
but the plain hummus is
always good. The menu
changes so frequently that
there’s something different
to try all the time.
In the midst of the opening
of two restaurants, and recent expansion of Federal
Donuts, you’re also filming
a PBS documentary. What
is it you hope to accomplish through this project?
I think that a part of my life’s
work is to represent Israelis
and Israel as I know it. Unfortunately, Israel gets a bad
rap by the way it's portrayed.
I don’t think it’s totally accurate and I think that there’s a
way to support any culture
when it’s just about food. It’s
a way to celebrate a culture
without having to get into a
heated political discussion.
What do you like to do in
your downtime?
I work out at a boxing gym,
and like to snowboard and
surf. I like to run a nine-mile
loop from Boathouse Row
to the Rocky Steps at the
Philadelphia Museum of Art
on the Schuylkill River Trail.
Noon
Soup Sippin'
What destination is at the
top of your bucket list?
I really want to go to Morocco, but at the top of my
list is a trip to the Mentawai
Islands on the western coast
of Sumatra. There is really
good surfing and food.
3 pm
Ice Cream in Old City
Midday break for Hydrox ice cream at
The Franklin Fountain, aka the reason
I work out so hard and don't have a
six pack. 116 Market St., 215.627.1899,
franklinfountain.com
The Franklin
Fountain
If you could sit next to any
person on a plane, who
would it be?
They would have to be
someone really funny. I'd
have to pick Louis C.K.
What’s next?
I don’t know, man. The
restaurants are really busy.
We’re looking to open more
Federal Donuts. I haven’t
gotten a tattoo in awhile, so
probably one of those.
Midnight
At the Club
Fist pumping at The 700 club
with the staff. 700 N. Second St.,
215.413.3181, the700.org
The Barnes Foundation

For someone who has
never been to Philadelphia
before, what are the top
three things to do?
Go to the Barnes Foundation, run up the Rocky Steps
before exploring Fairmount
Park—it’s really beautiful
this time of year — and see
a show at North Star Bar on
Poplar Street.
