Adobe Cafe
Adobe Cafe gave away free appetizers and meals at the grand opening of their new location in South Philly. You're probably thinking, "Wow! That must have been the greatest event ever, especially when so many South Philly natives were in a festive post-Eagles-win mood!" You would be wrong. The food--which was "meh" at best--was not the main issue. I mean, our bill only came out to $3.04. The saying "you get what you pay for" exists for a reason. No, it was the little things--the Bee Gees marathon spewing loudly from the sound system, the random strand of black hair shellacked for eternity into our table top, and the garnishing of Diet Cokes with oranges--that led to a lot of wide-eyed, raised-eyebrow Jim Halpert exchanges between my friends. If you're looking to watch big flatscreen TVs at the bar over a pitcher of sangria--or you're a Bee Gee's enthusiast--Adobe might not be so bad. But the Cantina, only a few blocks away, is a better bet overall.
