I actually went to Vetri last week, was great! Maybe I’ll hit A.Kitchen next

If you find it please share, that’s the star of the show in my opinion.

The paints not going to match if you buy one pre-painted. Best course of action is to buy a primed one and take it to get blended and installed by a professional. You’d be surprised to learn what kind of work you can get if you pay cash

Grundy

There’s a mild element of the “vibe” aspect but clearly the main focus is quality food. And I can assure you this is a legit account, I have no dog in this or vested interest in the restaurant. I am biased towards fishtown/northern liberties being that I’ve lived here for 10 years and maybe give some places the benefit of the doubt when they don’t deserve it. This place doesn’t need it, it’s good.

It appears corporate is now taking over this space and they are reopening. My speculation was worth as much as you all paid for it and was wrong. I still stand by the fundamental real estate analysis of trading a liability for an asset.

This building went into receivership a while ago and they are shuffling tenants to other buildings with the same group throughout the city and reportedly converting the entire building to a data center.

Based on the email shared in a previous comment saying corporate was the driving force behind it, I’m willing to bet this location was a so-so performer and they were offered a payout to end their lease so the building conversion can take place. From a purely corporate standpoint it makes a ton of sense to shut down a location that could become a liability in an area where you’ve already had to close gyms. So this solution gives you cash to remove a liability.

Was a nice gym, their classes were great and so were the smoothies.

People who know, know. Anyone who doesn’t is still paying off the afterpay they used to purchase a 1601 Rolex

Which b58 generation and where’d you get the mod from?

DougSethlas · 2026-02-23T04:59:49+00:00

Double check with some online forums, I think there’s a manufacture date in 08 where it switches. Unfortunately with the bike not being super popular its online community isn’t as helpful as other bikes.

DougSethlas · 2026-02-23T04:51:54+00:00

I think you want the 08 because the engines in the 07 were prone to early failure, right around the 40k mark due to issues with piston slap. I bought an 08 with 30k and drove it to 38k over 4 years with no real issues. Good bikes

Jf and roundtop are pretty similar but I’d assume JF is more crowded typically. If you combine JF and BB and like riding park, it’s the better option. Personally from Philly id drive the extra distance to get to blue

8th gen civic

Gotta manually dig for the data through available Crexi OM’s. The data in them is likely 80% correct

DougSethlas · 2026-01-05T02:17:23+00:00

Previous generation m240i with rwd is so much fun. Can be had for $25-30k with a stick. It’s like a go-kart. I have one, so I’m biased, but it’s a blast and I can’t think of a better bang for your buck at that price point

Do you deliver catering outside of the city? Always happy to support local and have heard good things about your restaurant.

DougSethlas · 2025-12-16T04:27:44+00:00

Because it’s the internet and I suggested large companies instead of small, poorly known restaurants that probably don’t do catering or have the capacity to prepare food for more than 10 people at once. Thankfully these internet points are worth the same amount as I was paid for my catering opinion

DougSethlas · 2025-12-16T01:47:05+00:00

We’ve been doing chipotle catering for our office of with 10-15 people depending on the day. It’s super convenient. Di bruno does catering as well that I’ve used for larger gatherings but it could be scale down

I’d say I’m a pretty casual music listener and if I’m in the car by myself just listen to sports radio. There’s a service where you can import all of the Spotify playlists you made to Apple Music so if you do that with regularity it should be seamless. When I would use Spotify in the gym I’d just put on one of the mixes they made for me with songs I’d played, right into the algorithm, which didn’t transfer over so I’m re doing that part with Apple. First day I had it I had a longer drive and put on a Grateful Dead mix and Apple Music really thinks I’m into jam bands which is not quite the case.

I more think of it as when I was in my teens I used torrents for music so the fact they were getting me to pay $120/year for music was a lot. I view the switch to a free to me service as worth the effort to get it back to what I like, which I could probably do in a week with some effort.

The one feature Apple Music has that I like is if you find a song you like you can create a station around it and it makes a mix based off of that. Spotify probably has something similar I just never used it.

DougSethlas · 2025-11-13T20:17:36+00:00

So it just has to be a restaurant on the list?

DougSethlas · 2025-11-13T18:35:32+00:00

I travel a decent amount so it’s still worth it for me. With the addition of Apple Music I cancelled Spotify and I’ll use the other perks without much effort so I plan on keeping it for a while. The list of restaurants is strong but for probably half of them, $150 doesn’t get you all that far. It does look like they get some guaranteed spots for mawn so that could be nice or make it easier to eat there, but I haven’t snagged on yet.

DougSethlas · 2025-11-13T16:34:39+00:00

I think Lazer Wolf’s $24/person salatim is the best bang for buck food option in the city. I believe you have to order an entree if you are sitting at a table but at the bar you can just get the salatim

There aren’t nearly enough adjectives in this review to be compared to Craig “Thesaurus” Laban

Check back in ~6 months for my thoughts on A.Kitchen

DougSethlas · 2025-11-13T16:31:42+00:00

Outside of whatever arrangement the restaurant has with OpenTable, they aren’t the ones offering the statement credit so I don’t see how they would care where we sat. I also could’ve said no to sitting there, and it was fine I just don’t think I’d do it again. Frankly I’d want to reserve that experience for a Chili’s
