All,
Sorry to intrude on your playoff revelry. My father is heading up to Philly in a week and a half to have spinal surgery, and I'd like him to have a good meal the night before he has to go under the knife. I don't know much about Philly, haven't been there in eight years, but he said his surgery is at Thomas Jefferson hospital, which he said was near Chinatown. They'll be getting a hotel room as close to there as possible, so restaurants in that general vicinity would be preferred.
My father likes all types of food, but doesn't drink coffee, so no recommendations based on the quality of someone's cappuccino or anything like that. My stepmother is a wonderful woman, but also kind of picky and gluten intolerant. I'm not too worried about her, she may not eat much, but if there was at least an option for her on the menu, that would be nice.
Cost isn't really an object, but they aren't dressy people. They have an "Our money is as green as anyone's" type of attitude and might try to show up to some five star place in sweatpants and flannel. I like that stubbornness in them, but it probably won't get them in the door at some places.
Basically, just want to tell them where to go to get a quality meal the night before his surgery, one of those family owned, non-chain, food made with love kind of places, in that general area.
Thanks in advance.
