Thanks Sarah, thought you might be the one to ask here!
We donāt normally go out to drink wine, so there may be places I donāt know about. If you do go to Bloomsday, which is very nice indeed, ask for Tim and tell him you know me. He is the GM and also responsible for the list. He had Ulusse Collin rosĆ© for like $225 a while ago, havenāt looked recently.

Wow! Bloomsday looks right up my alley. Will have to try it the next time we visit my kid at Drexel.

Not to hijack this at all - but didnāt know how to āfindā folks with Philly ties 
Doing an informal tercero wine tasting next month in the burbs - March 15th. Reach out if youād like more info
Now back to your regularly scheduled thread - and canāt wait to read more in this thread and try a few places when we are there - assuming they are kid friendly as weāll have our infant daughter with us.
Cheers
Hey Larry, where in the burbs specifically? Can shoot you a message depending on the direction from the city
Itās in Bala Cynwyd
Let me know if you can make it or if you know others who can. I need to hook you up with the guy whoās setting it up and we can go from there.
And thank you!
Thanks! Opposite side from me, but may be helpful for some others!
Howās the area on Spring Garden Street between Ridge Avenue and Broad Street from a safety perspective . Renting an apartment for a Sat night in late June. I will have my car-not sure of if there is off-street parking .Thanks in advance .
I live about 5 minute drive from there. Itās not the nicest part of the area, Iāll be honest, but Spring Garden is a major arterial, as is Broad, and itās pretty busy most of the time with a number of roads coming in. There is a halfway house right there, I think, and some government buildings, as well as newer shops slightly seedier businesses, but also a bunch of new condos.
PM me if you want to chat any more info. Too bad Iāll be away then!
Suggestions on where to grab a bagel or egg sandwich nearby or on the way to the stadium where the Phillies play?
The pastrami, egg and cheese sandwich at Herschelās at The Terminal is pretty terrific. Just get there before 11. The best bagel places are probably out of your way, wait in line kind of deals, but there are plenty that are just fine. Iāve never been to a Phillies game. The stadium is well outside the city, so you can either think of it as nothing is on the way, or everything is.
Itās in the City, just the southern most part. Not like Giants/Jets stadium. Then again the Pirates are only a 15 minute walk and i havenāt gone to a game in a couple of years.
I stand corrected. It feels out of town as I pass it on the way to the airport nearly every week and see it from the highway.

Which is the more relevant observation if Bruce is driving from NJ. I doubt there is anything decent near the stadiums, kinda of a dead zone north of I-95. Eater shows bagels in South Philly, may be worth a detour.
^^ Iām staying on Spring Garden Street between Ridge Avenue and Broad Street ( as of now )
RTM (Reading Terminal Market) doesnāt look that far to walk. Detour if youāre taking the subway.
Yup plan on going Saturday . And now maybe Sunday too!!
Heading to Philly in a monthā¦ any new wine bars worth hitting up?
Thereās one that just opened called Le Caveau from the team at The Good King. I havenāt been yet, so I canāt say much beyond it has had some buzz.
I donāt see much reason to venture beyond Bloomsday if Iām going to look for wine outside my own cellar. Timās list is strong.

My favorite breakfast sandwich is at Middle Child Clubhouse, but that would be a drive for you, probably.
