"You like Fork. Your boss likes Fork. Your neighbor, whom you’ve never spoken to but always wave to when walking your dog, likes Fork. The American restaurant in Old City serves reliably good, people-pleasing dishes—and you can always get in. Come with a big group for a birthday, or to celebrate any other reason you and your friends get together these days. Expect a seasonal American menu with things like squash-and-apple soup and a big steak for two." - candis mclean, alison kessler
