Friday Saturday Sunday

Friday Saturday Sunday

Aroundphilly.com’s Ken Alan gives us a history lesson and a look inside the venerable Friday Saturday Sunday.

The blackboard menu features the likes of those halcyon days gone by: cream of mushroom soup (earthy and rich – just as you like it), pate maison, and chicken Dijon, as enjoyable now as when it seemed so cutting edge back in the day.

Tank Bar

Posted by Foobooz on 10th November 2006

Will Dean of City Paper takes a look at the aptly named Tank Bar, above Friday Saturday Sunday on 21st Street.

The centerpiece and “instant swank” is the 135 gallon fish tank. Perfect for couples and people who don’t want to get sucked into watching TV all night.

And downstairs at Friday Saturday Sunday the wine is always marked up just $10.

Posted by Foobooz on 28th September 2006

More nostalgia in City Paper today as the paper turns to some local eateries of a similar age to reflect on Philadelphia’s restaurant scene.

City Paper asks, City Tavern, Deux Cheminees, Friday Saturday Sunday, Le Bec Fin, Philadelphia Fish & Company and White Dog Cafe for some back story, most popular dish, secret to success, and most missed restaurant.
