They won't : have a car, but can cab a fair distance. I tried to talk them : into going to Striped Bass but they want moderate Italian. there is a phl.food group Upscale sports bar....hmmm. there's one right in the Holiday Inn, but I don't know that I'd call it "upscale". There's a Turf Club walking distance from the Holiday Inn, that should be tuned into bball - never been there but I understand it's pretty nice. Striped Bass is probably one of the most expensive places in Philly - if they're looking for moderate, that's not the place ;-) There are dozens of great Italian places in South Philly - my old favorite is still Ralph's on 9th St., been there for like 90 years.
