Guides
Family Affair Fridays Tragos 38 S. 19th St. Fridays, 10 p.m.-2 a.m., Free (215) 636-9901 Clubbing makes a great family outing.
Sweet and Sour Salmonella
The last time I ate chicken from a questionable restaurant was at 4:00 a.m. at a dirty KFC somewhere near Notting Hill Gate over spring break.
Delaware Flair

Behind the Broken Social Scene
Back in 1999, Brendan Canning and Kevin Drew decided to turn their friendship into Broken Social Scene.
When Bono Comes to Town
Well here it is. I've spent the last four years of my life writing that same A-/B+ paper over and over again to finally obtain that coveted Ivy League diploma, or what my therapist calls a "passport." These four boring years of exploiting our society's legitimate (and very expensive) means of social uplift have been at a considerable cost to my ego and my erstwhile career as a teenage pop idol back in Baltimore.

Carbs con queso

Big women, big lust
If you like seeing fat crazy women jerk off onstage, then River Huston has made a play for you. The latest work from antiheroine extraordinaire Huston, Sex, Cellulite & Large Farm Equipment, is an abrasive, offensive, honest and necessary look at life from the perspective of a woman who has quite literally done it all.
Luck of the Irish
If you did not get your fill of lucky charms and beer on St. Patty's Day, you should head down to McGillin's Olde Ale House for more Irish fun and drink specials to boot. McGillin's is a cozy pub tucked away in a narrow alley just east of Rittenhouse Square.
Standing Ovation
Tucked a block away from the chaos of South Street is the charming BYO named Overtures. Nestled in a row of quiet restaurants, Overtures stands out from the crowd in every respect.
