Olympia Pizzeria & Restaurant: Pizza Any Way You Like It

June 19, 2012 by

Olympia Pizzeria & Restaurant combines Greek and Italian cuisines with a Philadelphia flair in a casual take-out establishment. The restaurant serves everything from deep, greasy pizza slices to cheesesteaks, hoagies, and gyros. This eclectic combination may not be much of a local novelty, but Olympia’s standards of freshness and cleanliness (not a sticky tabletop in sight) sets it apart from the pack. Add to that a friendly staff and a range of beverages (including birch beer). And if you’re not in the mood to schlep downtown, you can always call for a pizza delivery or order conveniently online and have dinner brought straight to your doorstep.

What Are Your Favorite Movies Set In Philadelphia?

May 22, 2012 by

The City of Brotherly Love has been the setting for a huge variety of films. Here are some of the best films set in or around Philadelphia:

Rocky
Rocky is the reason you’ll always see someone running up and down the Philadelphia Museum of Art's steps. Writer and star Sylvester Stallone is a Philadelphia native, and this is a Philly story through and through.

Blow Out
This remake of Antononi's Blow-up stars John Travolta as an audio producer searching for the perfect sound who accidentally stumbles upon crime and conspiracy.

The Sixth Sense
Most of M. Night Shymalan’s films are set in his hometown of Philly, and his first and best is no exception. This film features numerous Philadelphia street scenes, and a notable scene is shot at St. Augustine church at 4th and Vine.

Trading Places
This classic comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd as two very different men who exchange lives takes place entirely in Philadelphia. From social clubs on Rittenhouse Square to the underbelly of the city, this movie covers it all.

12 Monkeys
The protagonist of 12 Monkeys spends much of the film jolting back and forth between a postapocalyptic Philadelphia and a 1990s version of the city just pre-apocalypse. It's interesting to see both in this surreal sci fi film.
