Good sushi in Philadelphia is not hard to come by. Many Penn students may be wary of going farther than 37th St.

Dining at Northern Liberties BYO Koo Zee Doo is like settling into a meal with the Portuguese family you never knew you had.

Everything is small about Little Fish: the seven tables, the cramped quarters, even the exposed kitchen.

Walking into Novi, what strikes you first are the hushed tones and the mood lighting. The walls are stylish blends of black and gold, and the decorating and accents are reminiscent of a chic uptown sushi bar.

You don’t go to Yue Kee because you’re in a rush. You don’t go if you want a casual conversation with the person at the window, either.

Dare to be different, and branch out from Spruce Street. Amongst Penn’s Mecca of food cart offerings, it’s easy to make the same choice over and over.

During a typical week at Penn, you might see two people outside of our age bracket (read: LPS students). We’ve become so accustomed to wrinkle-free faces that even those black-suited OCRers look (kind of) like college students.

MidAtlantic Restaurant and Tap Room serves up the kind of food you’d expect to come out of your grandmother’s kitchen.

Let’s face it: while Beijing offers Chinese food, it doesn’t really tap into China’s authentic culinary culture.

At first glance, More Than Just Ice Cream, located in the heart of the Gayborhood, seems more like just ice cream.

I love steamed pork buns. They are my favorite food of all time. I had my first pork bun at New York's bun mecca, Momofuku, a few years ago, and I was instantly hooked.

Located conveniently on the corner of 36th and Chestnut St., Pizza Rustica attempts to be a tiny slice of Italy in the middle of University City — from the red and white-checkered table cloths to the chefs in the kitchen hand-tossing dough and the Dean Martin lyrics running around the walls. For our appetizer, my companions and I ordered the bruschetta sampler, which consisted of different toppings served on warm toasted baguette.

If you’re looking for a casual dining experience with young professionals (Whartonites, this is for you), try Dmitri’s located near Fitler Square. The décor, in short, feels less Mediterranean that it does regular American.

While Pho Saigon Café, commonly referred to as Pho, may not be the five-star restaurant that every Penn student craves, it is close to many hearts.

Upon our arrival to Old City on a rainy Wednesday evening, we were immediately welcomed by Chloe’s charming storefront and warm lighting that peeked out from the inside.

The man who brings us the best branzino in town sits down with Street to tell us about his Italian food empire.

For years, we have been instructed that food is for eating and not for playing. Prohibited from flicking peas across the table, blowing bubbles in our milk and mashing items on our plates together, food for us has become a medium for one thing, and one thing only: eating.

Khan's Hot Dog Cart parks itself at 37th and Spruce between Hemo's and the Crepewalk. The menu is unoriginal but, then again, when you're paying $2 for an egg and cheese sandwich and $4 for a chicken cheesesteak, originality isn't exactly what you're looking for.

No need to feel as though your Halloween trick-or-treating days have ended. As Halloween approaches (or the week of festivities continues), grab some old-time favorite candy corn and take this classic sweet treat to the next level.
