Adobe Cafe
Adobe might be my favorite restaurant, but it’s in Roxborough. That’s why the first thing I am going to tell you is exactly how to get to Adobe from Philadelphia-proper. Take the number nine bus. You can pick it up from 4th and Walnut or 30th Street; I don’t care. Get off the bus at Lyceum Ave. and walk four blocks north on Ridge. Take a left on Levrington, then take a left on Mitchell. Adobe is the big orange building that shines out like a beacon of delicious hope. Is a restaurant really worth all that travel? Well, how about this: Adobe is loved by both vegans and meat-eaters. Not liked, not tolerated, loved. It’s a place that gives the same succulent care to the seitan fajitas as it does to the duck burritos, a place where the lobster bisque is always, always amazing. They have outdoor seating and really tasty margaritas (which is why I am telling you to take public transport, people). The waitstaff is nice, and the same people have been working there for years. So gather a crew, hop on the bus, and go to Roxborough. Adobe is worth it.
