Is this just in Pennsylvania? I've never been to a place like that.
Nope. I've seen them all over the US.

Never had a stem charge though :banana:

Agree that they are all over the U.S. I think you see a lot of them in philly because PA apparently has pretty strict rules on liq licenses. It is def one of the great aspects to philly's fantastic restaurant scene. Also, I never heard of a stem charge either, often there is a corking charge ($5) but not always.

OK, I guess I haven't eaten out a lot. But its definitely rare if not unheard of in the NYC/LI area.

I think in NYC it is not very common. In NJ a majority of resteraunts may be BYOB. It keeps the bill low.

Staying in Philly one more night. Three nice meals since meals since I've been here (paid by the firm) but I think it's Subway tonight. Weather is too crappy to venture too far.
Brrr it's cold. According to the weather report it's supposed to snow here. Snow up in my neck of the woods in Northern NJ. We like snow. :mrgreen:

Thought you were going home today.

Order room service. Beats the sh*t outta Subway when someone else is paying.

For some reason, whenever I read this thread title, I just think of "Things to Do in Denver when you're Dead". :?

I did about 15 minutes ago and it just arrived.

Edit: I'm a happy camper now -- white wine, grilled salmon, garlic mashed potatoes, fresh asparagus and Grand Marnier for dessert. :mrgreen:
