Just Another Pizza Place?
Located conveniently on the corner of 36th and Chestnut St., Pizza Rustica attempts to be a tiny slice of Italy in the middle of University City — from the red and white-checkered table cloths to the chefs in the kitchen hand-tossing dough and the Dean Martin lyrics running around the walls. For our appetizer, my companions and I ordered the bruschetta sampler, which consisted of different toppings served on warm toasted baguette.
Twas Not So Greek to Me
If you’re looking for a casual dining experience with young professionals (Whartonites, this is for you), try Dmitri’s located near Fitler Square. The décor, in short, feels less Mediterranean that it does regular American.
Pho Sho
While Pho Saigon Café, commonly referred to as Pho, may not be the five-star restaurant that every Penn student craves, it is close to many hearts.
Home Sweet Home
Upon our arrival to Old City on a rainy Wednesday evening, we were immediately welcomed by Chloe’s charming storefront and warm lighting that peeked out from the inside.
From the Editor: 11.5.09
However paradoxical it may seem, college has made me and my friends much less crazy, at least as far as school is concerned.
Homecoming for Legacies = Parents' Weekend Part Deux
Still not sure what to do with Mom and Dad? Don’t worry! Penn has tons of visitor-friendly goings on this weekend.
Don't Feel Gilty
Ask any fashionista what they’re doing at noon on any given day, and the answer will be a resounding, overwhelming “GILT!” The online sample site Gilt Groupe has blossomed in the past year, and boasts pieces from some of fashion’s top names at up to 70% off retail.
Your Guide To Kickin' It Ivy Style This Homecoming Weekend
Homecoming is rife with reminders: we are reminded how fun school spirit can be, how ridiculous 35-year-old, balding investment bankers look while trying to relive their glory days and most importantly of our ancient rivalry with Princeton.
Where Will We Be in 2030?
Matt Selman, C’93, a writer for The Simpsons and Seinfeld, was the editor of our very own 34th Street Magazine. Is it a coincidence that he’s written for two of the most hilarious and successful sitcoms ever?
Penn Back Then
Remember Penn back in the day? When guys wore three-piece suits to class, gals were few and far between and rooms in the Quad were equipped with crockery?
Mark Vetri: The Man Behind the Meal
The man who brings us the best branzino in town sits down with Street to tell us about his Italian food empire.
Play With Your Food
For years, we have been instructed that food is for eating and not for playing. Prohibited from flicking peas across the table, blowing bubbles in our milk and mashing items on our plates together, food for us has become a medium for one thing, and one thing only: eating.
Pros and Khans
Khan's Hot Dog Cart parks itself at 37th and Spruce between Hemo's and the Crepewalk. The menu is unoriginal but, then again, when you're paying $2 for an egg and cheese sandwich and $4 for a chicken cheesesteak, originality isn't exactly what you're looking for.
Lowbrow's Londerful Levaluation
People value our opinion here at The Street, (we added a 'the' for legitimacy/increased street cred… get it?
One Track Mind: 11.5.09
In the 12 years since the debut of “I Believe I Can Fly,” there’s been a void in motivational, mainstream R&B.
When Metal and Genius Collide
In the vast world of metal, few bands have the versatility of North Carolina’s Between the Buried and Me.

Opening with a blast of searing guitar, Soundgarden’s Superunknown grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go for upwards of 70 minutes.

And we're pretty excited about it. The concert goes down in Irvine Auditorium tomorrow night at 8:30, so make sure to get your tickets ASAP.
Ego of the Week: Natalie Vernon
Street: You’re working on your Masters in Government Administration. How is it straddling the undergrad/grad domains? Natalie Vernon: The personalities: it's like going from a hipster party past its prime (Public Financial Management) to a Beige Block mixer (PSYC 001). Street: Why are Midwesterners like yourself so darn friendly? NV: Maybe there’s something in the corn? Street: What's the strangest SAC request you’ve ever received?
