Reply to comment by Little_Noodles in Good place for a "business friendly" lunch in Fishtown? by jacksonmills

Then I guess Front Street Cafe is your best option. What about Northern liberties, since that's only about a mile or less than a mile away?

OP is going to have similar challenges in Northern Liberties, to be honest, though it would maybe add a few options. The weekday lunch scene in the Riverwards is pretty limited if you’re not just doing a grab and go kind of thing.

Front St might work. Depends what the nature of what the NJ folks’ issue with the city is.

Yeah, I know. I used to live in Libs and used to get lunch at a number of coffee places, The Abbaye, Bourbon & Branch, Pizza Rustica and the Tap. Not sure how many are still doing lunch these days. And Jersey will always dump on Philly; it's just jealousy.

Rustica and B&B do. The other two (which I prefer), don’t open til at least 4 on weekdays. Though for some reason, I think Rustica is take out/delivery only now. I don’t know why I think that though.

The former owner was killed in a freak skiing accident about 4-5 years ago so I assume the business changed hands, plus COViD didn't help.
