There was once a fine
restaurant in
Philadelphia on 39th between
Chestnut and
Walnut. It was called
Troy's. They sold beer to
anyone. One could get
carded at
Troy's, however this usually took a combination of a
babyface and stupidity.
Troy's had a wonderful after-heavy-
drinking menu, was always open, and even had the owner's relatives playing very high-quality greek music (no not *that* kind,
sicko) on occasion.
Well, they had a menu item called an
eggel. Yes, it was made of.....an
egg and a
bagel. Very good. This thing was the greasiest egg you ever saw. It blended with the
booze and made your
stomach feel much better.
I heard that they closed
Troy's due to
liquor law violations. That's a shame. I doubt if college students in the area have a similar
venue in latter-day times. Bummer.
