I was very packed and people were walking around with cute little Christmas themed cups from ornaments to mugs. We didn't stay to partake in a drink since it was PACKED around the bar downstairs and we were warned to not even go upstairs. So photo op it became. They even had Abominable Snowman but he was surrounded by so many I had to grab a picture from a distance and couldn't ask if he really bounces. If crowds are your thing, then definitely swing by Tinsel

Half the fun is looking around and trying to figure out which movie or TV show inspired each decoration. Christmas music plays nonstop. There's a fixed drink menu and no seating, so it's very much a stand-and-hang-out kind of place. From what we heard, it can get pretty packed later in the evening, but we arrived right when it opened at 4:00 PM and had no wait at all. It ended up being a great place to kick off the night. The cocktail list is entirely Christmas-themed--festive and fruity flavors. The cocktails are served in Christmas themed vessels. If cocktails aren't your thing, they do offer beer and seltzer options as well. It's a fun, high energy stop that's perfect for soaking in some holiday spirit.

We had their sinigang na salmon, sizzling pork sisig, and banana pudding dessert. -Sinigang na salmon: 8/10 -Sizzling pork sisig: a bit on the fattier side for my liking but still great nonetheless! 8/10 -Banana pudding dessert: 10/10; we melted on the first bite. The condensed milk in the cream complemented the banana and cake perfectly! Would definitely return just for this dessert. DRINKS We had their banana latte and calamansi drinks. Both were light and refreshing! SERVICE The staff are very kind and friendly! AMBIANCE There are two floors-- both offering a nice view of the restaurant and the street below. In the daytime, the place functions as a cafe, where guests often come to catch up with friends or study/work. At night, the place transforms into a cozy, intimate space to enjoy a nice meal with friends and loved ones. Ample seating is available on both floors, ranging from tables for 8-10, counter seating, and smaller tables for smaller tables for 2-4. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity.

Went with a group of about 7 or 8 and it was very difficult to get seating. The time you walk through the door, order your food, and to receive it will take quite a while. By 11:30 on Saturday, they have to stop people from walking in and wait outside until the line inside shortened. For anyone looking for the most authentic Filipino food, this is not the place. With that said, the food is still good. It has a Filipino flare, with a modern, for the masses, feel. Would try the place, but not frequently.

I came across a post on FB regarding 2 Halloween pop up bars in Philly, Nightmare before Tinsel and…read moreHaunt. I was eager to try them out on Saturday night. The first one I visited was Haunt, which is located on top of Pearl Tavern. When me and hub got there around 11pm, there was no line, I thought that was weird. I was kinda expecting long lines. But hey it was a good for me so I thought..... Instead of waiting outside, we saw a seat at the bar in Pearl Tavern, so we waited inside instead. We waited approximately 35 minutes before Haunt allow people in. I was expecting something like Tinsel since ppl was raving about Haunt too. I was disappointed once I walked up the steps. It wasn't even 10% of Tinsel, very lightly decorated.... My disappointment didn't stop there, I ask the bartender for 2 sweetest drinks, she gave us something that is no where near sweet, matter of fact, it was super alcoholic. We were trying to get her change it to something else, but she wasn't willing to help us. The 2 drinks cost $29 plus I left $6 tip, so $35 totally wasted. With my experience at Haunt, we was reluctant trying Tinsel. And the line extended all the way down the other block, we were terrified. We end up going to Bonchon instead.

Liked the dark room with orange lighting and the spooky cobwebs. Nice place to relax and enjoy a drink after dealing with big crowds at tinsel. I ordered the unicorn blood drink with bourbon, fernet, borghetti, red wine, coffee, cinnamon, and pomegranate. A lot going on it it, but it was interesting. It was in a cute skeleton tea cup mug with ice. Basically tasted like a cold alcoholic spiced apple cider. Definitely better quality drinks here than at tinsel. Drink list was a little small, wish they had a little more variety and more Halloween type drinks though.

I really enjoyed my experience at My Loup so was excited to try this place out. The patio feels…read morelike you've walked into your friend's spacious backyard with string lights and plants. It was a super hot night out so we asked to be seated inside and they were able to accommodate us. Apparently inside seating is actually reserved for walk-ins so good to know for those who can't get a Resy! The food was good enough but I think the ambiance of the place and the amazing service really made the experience worth it for me. Definitely don't skip the hanger steak--it's perfectly medium rare and juicy. The tomato toast was flavorful but the toast was pretty thick and hard to bite into especially around the crust, although that might just be a me problem. I look forward to doing a walk-in to try their dessert sometime before the pop-up wraps up!

I also enjoyed their cinnamon rolls! --- Paffuto was popping for the Italian Market Festival, but my party of four still managed to find a table. The interior is small and intimate with about five small tables and some counter-window seating. You order at the counter and then get your seasonings (ketchup or hot sauce), silverware, napkins, and water yourself from the side. The servers will bring the food to your table. We ordered the maritozzo (cream bread), cinnamon rolls, sesame bread pudding, home fries, and bacon, egg, and cheese (BEC) panzerotti. (1) Cinnamon roll- Exactly what you'd want from a cinnamon roll. Good frosting-to-bun ratio and gooey inside. It was medium-soft. (2) BEC panzerotti- Crispy perfection filled with gooey eggy goodness. The exterior was unique to me in how well it was fried, while the interior was more standard yummy. The outside is slightly sweet and personally, I think the points were a bit too thick/doughy. One filled two people up! (3) Maritozzo- First time trying, and I was a little sad the bread is just two halves with whipped cream between instead of hollow bread with maximum whipped cream. () Really airy cream and not too sweet. (4) Home fries- Pretty standard good home fries. A little too salty but the perfect crisp without being dry. (5) Sesame bread pudding- It was extremely dense, and the thick sesame glaze made the bites very dry and overly sticky. I personally wouldn't reorder it, but it still tasted high-quality. The wait time was a little long for our food since they were packed during the Italian Market Festival, which was unavoidable. The servers were friendly and quick despite this. Overall, I'd be back for a cinnamon roll or panzerotti!

Having worked in a place that made panzarottis - I know a good one when I see one. My husband was excited to try here after an IG post he saw so when he got a pepperoni one, I took a bite. Not impressed. However, I decided to give the place a try for myself but get a breakfast one this time. Cooper sharp and scrambled eggs? How could you go wrong? It turns out you can. The filling was so bland and the fact that they always serve it with a side of hot sauce should speak to the inner ingredients.

Lots of first night hiccups. No big deal. You order online while at the table. The have a nice selection of wine beer and specialty cocktails. The service was good. Again a little scattered but they literally just opened. They bring it all to you. You do your CC online when you order. They include the tip. Easy peasy! The food was good value but a little underwhelming. BBQ menu. Brisket a bit dry, good sides, pickles and coleslaw. The hot pretzel was dreadful. More like a roll. . Cobb salad very good. You need to make reservations on Resy. It's the same people who do the Parks Pop up. What a nice way to spend a cold night. Very fun and special.

I recently visited Honey's Sit 'n Eat and witnessed something that truly stood out to me…read more While we were there, a man who appeared to be homeless came in and stood by the register. I paid attention to how the staff would handle the situation. After helping the current customer, the cashier gave him a cup of juice. I didn't see any payment, so I assumed it was offered to him. As he stepped outside, I asked my husband to check if he wanted something to eat. When my husband came back, he told me he had given him money. While that was kind, I honestly would have preferred to get him food myself just to make sure he actually ate. A few minutes later, the man came back in and sat at the counter. At first, I didn't see anyone approach him, but shortly after, the staff brought him a bag with food. I'm not sure if he ordered through the take out window then came in, paid the waiter, or if it was provided to him, but either way, it meant a lot to see. He took his food and left. What stood out most was that the staff didn't ignore him, rush him out, or treat him like he didn't belong. At one point, I even heard a staff member ask if he had received his juice, which made me think this wasn't their first interaction with him. In a world where people are often overlooked or dismissed, it meant a lot to see a business show simple human kindness. Treating people with dignity and empathy shouldn't be rare--but unfortunately, it often is. For that alone, Honey's Sit 'n Eat deserves recognition. Oh... and the food is always great!

Updated review for Honey's Sit & Eat -- still a solid go-to brunch spot…read more The food continues to be consistently good, which is why we keep coming back. It's especially great with kids -- they have a solid kids menu and plenty of side options, which makes it easier to find something for little ones. My 4-year-old loves it, which is always a win. That said, it's almost always packed, especially on weekend mornings, so expect a crowd. Service can be a bit hit or miss during those busy times. Overall, still a dependable breakfast spot with great food and a family-friendly vibe.
