Soul for Sale
"It's like Allen Iverson playing basketball," explained a fellow food critic about a $200 bottle of wine.
Peewees Big Love
Big Love is a chaotic depiction of gender domination and marital troubles. Fifty brides, represented by three actresses, infiltrate the Dali-inspired set in an attempt to create a larger than life performance. Having just fled their pre-arranged marriages, these Greek goddesses sail to Italy to seek refuge in the home of a random middle-aged man, Piero, and his elderly mother.
Starr Search
Although there are hundreds of other culinary options in Philadelphia, it might be difficult for you to navigate the empire of restaurant mongrel Stephen Starr.
One Man Army
One of the best and most original acts to come from Philadelphia in a long time, Atom and His Package puts on an amazing live show with only a synthesizer, guitar, and his hilarious but inspired lyrics.
Steak in the Heart
After years of unsuccessfully chasing women, I can finally confess that nothing satisfies me more than a big hunk of meat in my mouth -- along with a one pound baked potato and anything else the Marmont Steakhouse and Bar wants to feed me. Billing itself as Old City's only steakhouse, Marmont is located at 2nd and Market, but pretends it is in the middle of SoHo.
Silky Smooth
Silk City sounded to me like the name of some mythical Chinese city. It turns out, the only thing Chinese about it is the intense red lighting that conjures up old memories of Chairman Mao.

Fresh Faced Grocers
Specialty grocery stores are like a box of chocolates, you never know if they're going to be filled with curry, squid or oxtails.
I Like 'Em Thick, Round and Juicy
My favorite hunks of thick, round, juicy, maple-drenched loving are located just north of Third and Market, at Blue in Green, a restaurant that boasts the highest ratio of creative, quality food and hipster clientele per square inch in the city.
Wake Up and Smell the Muscles
Editor's Note: This is the uncut version of the interview that ran in the April 3, 2003, issue of 34th Street. Patrick Swayze: aging 80's heartthrob or sexual dynamo?
What You Will
More than a stodgy Malvolio donning cross-gartered, yellow stockings is needed to keep Shakespeare fresh.
Living the Rock and Roll Life
As Sparta prepared to end their stint early as co-headliners of the SnoCore Tour due to unforeseen circumstances, drummer Tony Hajjar was nice enough to sit down and spend some time with Street. The band -- who came into being after At the Drive-In announced their "hiatus" in 2001 - put out their first full length album Wiretap Scars in 2002, while opening for some of the best bands around. Do you find it weird touring during wartime? The war is so fucking annoying.
Let Them Eat Cake
Chef Joseph Moorhead is a picky eater. He's not a fan of salmon mousse, and he doesn't like onions cluttering his food.
Throw Your Panties Down
A hidden hot spot to dress you for your wildest nights, Coeur is a lingerie palace. The chic room of wall-to-wall royal blue is a life size jewelry box, filled with imported lingerie, fancy gifts, scandalous bathing suits and racey negligees.
