Coyote Crossing
102 Market Street
West Chester,
PA
19382
Kim P. writes: I must preface this by saying that I have not had the food at Coyote Crossing, and am unlikely to ever try it, since I wouldn't be caught dead eating Mexican food unless it was IN Mexico. (Or perhaps a hole in the wall taqueria - those are always…

821 N 2nd St
Philadelphia,
PA
19123
Susan G. writes: It's a pretty small gym, but it serves it's purpose well. It's super close to home for me, so I can't beat the convenience factor.
The staff is pretty friendly, the machines are in pretty good shape.
There really isn't anything to extraordinary to…

Philadelphia,
PA
19118

Pepper Mill
813 N Chester Rd
West Chester,
PA
19380

Penn's Table
100 W Gay St
West Chester,
PA
19380
Amanda S. writes: Traditional Breakfasts in Downtown West Chester. My parents went here to eat before I was born, so that alone is a good advertisement for Penn's Table. They do simple breakfast fare right, and in true PA style will give you a perfefctly crisp…
Royal Thai Orchids
309 Lancaster Ave
Malvern,
PA
19355
Seth H. writes: This Thai restaurant is great. Right off of Business Route 30 in a dingy little strip mall it doesn't look like much, but that's deceiving. The dining area is quite large and the decorations are asian inspired and non intrusive. The food is some…

Turnersville,
NJ

1237 W Chester Pike
West Chester,
PA
19382
Erin K. writes: I heart Scotts.
They have great cakes.
You know, they don't always look super fancy, and yes, they come on a tin-foiled piece of cardboard, but I don't think anyone cares. They taste good, and they have lots of options.
Chocolate chip is my personal…
Roman Delight
1418 Old York Rd
Abington,
PA

6501 Castor Ave
Philadelphia,
PA
19149

Philadelphia,
PA

Jacquelin K. writes: You've got to hand it to MAC--their luscious eye shadows are pumped full of pigment, and it's to die for. What's lamer than a shadow that looks vivid in the pot and actually shows up on the skin like a pastel baby powder? You know what I'm talking…
