Main Line Today’s annual Best of the Main Line edition is on newsstands now. Kudos to the MLT staff: the food & drink section is far, far more extensive than anything Philadelphia Magazine has put out in years! If you live in the area and like food at all this is a must-read. No Kudos […]
Bad news, WC sandwichionados: Murray’s Deli of West Chester will be closing very soon. We were enamored with the sandwiches and upscale bar of Murray’s but we suspect the location (on the much less tred Market St vs Gay St — It’s amazing what a block can do) and the questionable service (as commonly reported […]
