Philly ETE - More tips - Restaurants

There are a lot of great restaurants in the Conshohocken area, some within a long walk of the hotel.

Right on Fayette Street, over the bridge, there are two casual eateries, Flanigan's Boathouse and the Great American Pub,which have a sports bar feel and burgers, etc. Right near them, is a great BYOB, Blackfish. This restaurant is a bit more upscale than the first two, but not stuffy with great seafood. A bit further up (I would drive) Fayette is the Fayette Street Grille, another good BYOB.

In the hotel is Shula's. It is ok for a hotel restuarant, but a bit pricey. Not too far if you don't want to stray, but not walk over the bridge is Stella Blu, Bella Luna and the Gypsy Saloon. They are all owned by the same people and have been in the area for a good amount of time. Stella Blu is the most expensive of the trio with Bella Luna being the least and most casual.

If you have a car, a short drive from the hotel is the Coyote Crossing featuring a beautiful courtyard and very good Mexican.

Anyone who wants to venture into Philadelphia and needs some recommendations, please stop by the registration desk at the conference. We'll try and help.
