    Glad you enjoyed the 4th St Deli so much, Dmitry!  It's been there forever, my first visit was back in 2008, and many times since then.  There are still good delis like that in the suburbs - the one we went to most frequently was the Kibitz Room in Cherry Hill, due to proximity to our town.  But 4th St is maybe my favorite, and I miss it.

    I need to find a good deli out here in Phx/Scottsdale.

    Can you ask your brother which restaurant is a must-go Philadelphia institution that actually serves excellent and memorable food and isn't a tourist trap? 

     

     

    A couple of recommendations I have for decent food in Philadelphia - I just moved away from there 3 months ago.  

    We like some of the Stephen Starr restaurants:

    * LMNO - Baja style Mexican restaurant in Fishtown

    * El Vez - traditional Mexican on 13th near Center City

    * Buddakan - Asian/Fusion - in the Old City area on Chestnut

     

    Others:

    Friday Saturday Sunday - amazing food, just won the James Beard 2023 award for best restaurant in the U.S.  Located Rittenhouse Square

    Alpen Rose - steakhouse across from El Vez.  There's no advertising on the restaurant other than a single rose next to the door.  Felt like a cold-ward era place where spies would've shared stories.

    Zahav - Israeli food, hard to get into.  Was the 2019 Beard Award winner for best restaurant in the country.

    Parc - decent-ish French cuisine on Rittenouse Square

    Famous 4th Street Deli - ok maybe a little touristy, but very good pastrami sandwiches

  6. I am curious about how people here respond to certain questions about Jazz, especially but not only, as we get older

    Was I just getting older and more conservative? 

    As we age, many of us go back to what gives us comfort.  And for many of us who love music, it's often the music of our more formative listening years, whatever style/genre that may be - hard bop, Armstrong, traditional country, classic rock, old school R&B, whatever.  I'm not sure that's quite the same as getting more conservative, ears-wise. Maybe it is.  Or maybe if you started out with a love of diverse sounds and styles, that continued exploration is your comfort zone.  So maybe continuing to do what you did earlier is a form of conservatism, since you're not changing and evolving, despite continuing to listen to new things.  I dunno.

    Outside of music, I've noticed many of the people I knew when I was younger have become more and more conservative (politically, culturally) personally as they age.  I have less and less in common with them over time.
