  1. Over Christmas Mr. MV and I visited Osteria. In a word: fantastic. We started with the bread- two kinds of rustic bread and grissini, served with a light fruity olive oil. The salted bread was soft, chewy and fresh. The pizza was simply the best I've ever had. Seriously. We had the Lombarda which has mozzarella, bitto cheese, cotechino sausage and a baked egg in the middle. The pizza dough was thin and done perfectly throughout the pizza. The crust had some nice blisters and the egg was immensly rich. The size is about 12 inches around, in case anyone goes and wants to gauge how much to order. Pizzas are cooked in a 700 degree wood fired brick oven. We will be back for the pizza alone, let alone the rest of the menu. We also split a lobster spaghetti special, which has a whole lobster with meat taken out, shell on bottom topped with spaghetti and chunks of lobster in a light tomato sauce. This was a big dish. Next we had suckling pig which was brined and braised. It was intensely flavored with fennel and a hint of garlic. We ended with a cranberry and hickory nut tart/cake toppped with zabaglione gelato. All meats (except proscuitto which is cut to order on a killer Berkel slicer positioned among the tables), gelato and many pastas are made in house. I am now in search of cotechino sausage. It's flavored with cloves and nutmeg. The space is warehouse meets warm tones and wood on a red wine stained concrete floor. There are 2 bars- one around the L-shaped kitchen and one in the back. For the above meal plus two glasses of prosecco we paid around $150. We were stuffed. I can not wait to go back. Between the pizza, antipasto, primi, secondi, contorno, dolci and daily specials, there are too many ways to enjoy this gem to go only once. And...of course we had a roast pork with sharp provolone and rabe at DiNic's in Reading Terminal Market.
  2. The Philadelphia Museum of Art's main building is open until each Wednesday night until 8:45 PM. Wednesdays, between 5 and 8:45 PM, the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage funds what is essentially a "coffee can" so you can pitch in what you wish. This is an honorable, honest program so those of us of lesser means (college students, non-wealthy art lovers, back-row opera standers) can enjoy the collection. Thank, you, Philadelphia Museum of Art, for supporting this outstanding program, and may Warren Buffet walk in one evening and leave you a million dollars for doing so.
  3. Anyone have any good suggestions for a lunch spot within easy walking distance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art? Heading up to Philly on Friday for a weekend of wedding festivities and going to hit the museum before we can check in to our hotel. Since time will be tight really just looking to dump the car near/at the museum and then get lunch. The leading candidate is the Belgium Cafe (owned by the Monk folks). Any other suggestions near the meseums or in the Fairmount neighborhood? --- [The following posts have been split into separate threads: Water Works (monavano)]
  4. The Water Works Restaurant is right there. I've never been, and you know what they say about restaurants with views, but it might be worth researching reviews since the area isn't exactly chock-a-block full of walkable places to eat.
