I am a huge fan of the following:

1) Pietros - In my opinion, the best take out on South Street. The food stays warm and the dressing is packed in a separate container so that the salad is not nasty. I think my wife and I pick up a Insalata Mista with grilled chicken 1 x week.

2) For Pete's Sake - In my opinion, the best bar food in the area. I am prone to the ribs, burger, wings and nachos. Very small and crowded at times, but, the drinks will pass the time.

3) The Joint (I think that is the name) - right next to the old McDonalds on South. Huge Burritos and you get to build them yourself. My wife is not as big of a fan as I am...but I have yet to find a better burrito.

4) The Artful Dodger - Good bar food, but they have a great "steak salad" and other healthy, not atypical "bar food" goodies.

5) Famous Fourth Street Deli - In my opinion, best deli in town. My wife and I split a soup and sandwich and are stuffed for a month.

6) There is a BYO on third? in between Bainbridge and South (right next to the bagel shop.) I forgot the name, but love the food.

7) Gnocchi (613 E Passyunk Ave) - Let them prepare the 5 course meal...I have not been disappointed yet.

Those are the first 7 I could think of...I have no financial interest in any of these places or any interest for a positive review.

Of note, I waited tables and bar tended at one of the above when I was in law school, but that does not hamper my ability to recognize good food.
