Stephen Starr’s Buddakan is a spectacular restaurant featuring exotic flavors of modern Asian cuisine with creativity and drama. Bon Appetit notes, “The mostly white space is striking, with a lit-from-within communal table in the middle of the room, a waterfall & a ten-foot, candle-bedecked Buddha. The religious icon watches over hip customers indulging in pan-Asian cuisine that far surpasses the fare usually found at hot spots like this.” Newsweek reports, “Design also serves as a signifier for cuisine. You walk into Buddakan, one of the hottest new restaurants in Philadelphia, past a shimmering waterfall & Japanese river stones & you say to yourself, ‘ginger-miso everything’ even before you see the magnificent 10-foot Buddha dominating the dining room.” Named one of “America’s Top 50 Restaurants” by Travel & Leisure and ‘Top Restaurant for Fun’ by Gourmet, Buddakan has become one of the country’s most talked about restaurants.

After dining in such luxury we decided to do the town visiting legendary Monstor Bar.
The Monster is like a sitcom: it remains A Historic Village Bar with friendly barmen, good Cocktails Prices, Talented Piano Players, a Dance Floor below where you can Boogie to Disco Classics on Tuesdays. The Monday & Wednesday Drag Shows are wonderfully professional with Gorgeous Women who are really Men! Absolutely Fabulous…Cheers!
