    Yeah the Waterford was just a consideration for a final beer before walking in, prolly just as well to buy a beer inside (they have a bar inside the Tower?)

    As for the day -- my plane lands at 10:00 am, I'll be doing the tourist thing at Independence Hall / Ben Franklin's "House" (really a pilgramage to Ben AND Ed!), got a few independent book stores lined up I wanna hit if time allows, then I'm planning on a big lunch about 2:30 - 3:00 before catching a ride up to the venue around 5 - 5:30.

    If you wanna tourist with me, totally cool (I'm a Ben Franklin fanatic) and if you wanna lunch with me, totally cool (I'm a food snob though) and been looking at good seafood or steak downtown. Bottle or three of vino and a nice long lunch -- IT'S A SPECIAL DAY!

    No no -- the Cheesesteak is for AFTER the show!

    P-Girl2010 -- I do the research, just down in Hermosa for biz and ate breakfast every day at Martha's! YUM!

    Yep, there's a bar at the Tower. I doubt they'll do this for the Ed shows, but at the other shows I've been to Black Crowes, Fiona Apple, a couple of comedians, they have waitresses taking orders and bringing beers to your seats so you don't have to miss the show.

    I just went to the TLA for the 1st time on Thursday and I saw The Tragically Hip.

    The joint rules. I really loved the setup. And the show kicked ass in every way.

    Only been to Philly once but am a food fan and think I found the best cheesesteaks.......forget the tourist traps, Pat's and Geno's, they are not very good. The best were Tony Luke's (Oregon Ave) and Cosmi's Deli (8th Street). Yummy and delicious.......

    If you wanna blow some cash and have an unreal culinary experience, make a reservation at Morimotos. Best meal I had during my Philly visit.

    Cosmi`s is really good, they are in the hoagie challenge that is going on at my work right now, the best steak by far is Johns Roast Pork, get one and it will feed you for a week!

    John's isn't open too long. Only open Mondays thru Fridays till 3 and the grill closes like 2:30. But well worth it if you make it over there.
