Food Scene
Even though Dahlak is around the corner from the house, Abyssinia is the best Ethiopian in the neighborhood. But bring your patience as well as your appetite, because the food may take a while.

It was previously pretty hard to get good Mexican in the neighborhood (and in Philadelphia, except from down around 10th and Washington). Thank goodness for Honest Tom's. Good tacos and burritos.

They have really good flat-bread pizzas and burgers (beef and veggie), and I always get an order of the trio fries (ask for a little dipping mayo with them).
