Caffe Carmen is a great place for the hood!

I was just wondering though, i went in there a couple times and both times
i was a little lost on what to order, other than pastries or gelato....
there isnt a specific menu so its hard to decide what to get...

the gelato is out of this world for sure, and it is a great place

my only complaint would be that they dont have a menu to order from...

now i havent been in quite a while and they may have created one....
anyone know if they have?

It gets a little rowdy during Mum season but besides that every bar I know of is a good place to have a drink and enjoy yourself.

Except if you're black.

Absolutely correct. Our business has noticed a huge
influx of Penn students and young couples ...... its a
welcome addition to a great neighborhood. Family values
are very strong ... its still a place where neighbors look
out for "our Pennsport kids ...."

Every neighborhood has it hip corner bar (dirty franks, doobie's, standard tap)

What about the East Moyamensing Saloon.
Couldnt you totally see that becoming something more than
an "8 am cocktail" place?

it was actually used in that show "it's always sunny in philadelphia"
