Philadelphia's member of this chain, on Restaurant Row, has become the seat of power for politicians and movers-and-shakers. The bar is always busy, and having your caricature on the wall insures your status among the money boys---it's a real he-man spot after all. Beneath the glamour and the high prices, there's good food too, spelled out in mammoth steaks, chops and lobsters. Hashed browned potatoes, potato skins, creamed spinach, and sparkling salads round out the picture. It may not have the saw-dust-on-the-floor, speakeasy charm of the New York original, but the crowds, and the high noise level, indicate that glitz works too.
