Good gaming stores in Philadelphia?

[Knightcrawler]

So couple of friends and I are spending Friday night in Philadelphia on our way to Atlantic City for a bachelor party. Can anyone recommend any good gaming stores. And if anyone could recommend a couple of good restaurants I'd be grateful. Thanks

I was just in Philly a couple of weeks ago... I found a small comics/gaming store on the 2000 block of Sansom St. Not a big selection, but good enough for browsing.

The place Lalato mentioned is Fat Jack's Comic Crypt. I just bought the Complete Warrior there last Sat.

I have a ton of resturants recommendations. What kind of cousine do you want? Where are you staying? Price range?

There's also a decent game store on the 1400 block of Chestnut St., right next to the Prince Music Theatre. I've bought a few DnD books there.

Unfortunately I forget the name at the moment. I'll update when I remember it.

If you have a car you can hop over the bridge, go north about 5 miles on Route 130 to Gamer's Realm in Cinnaminson, NJ.

I must have walked right past it without seeing it. Oh well... maybe next time I'm in Philly...

That's Out of Time, isn't it?

There's also Atomic City Comics on South St., around 7th-8th...

Save your time (and money) for Atlantic City instead - there is a *great* game store in Northfield (about 5 miles from AC, on Rt. 9) called Jester's Playhouse. Great selection, friendly staff, and there is *always* a game of some kind going on, either a pick-up CCG or an organized event (or even my own Sunday afternoon D&D or Thursday night Spycraft games).

No offense, Rob - but Gamer's Realm has gone downhill in a hurry - and it started about a year or so ago when the main guy managing that store either quit or was fired. I occasionally stop in there on Thursday nights (and used to play Living Greyhawk there every month). They used to have a good selection of new and used games, a decent selection of mini's, and a good atmosphere for playing RPGs. Now, when I go in there, I see that the single copy of the newest item I want is already sold out and they seem to have *no* idea of when they are getting more - "Try back next Tuesday." Additionally, it seems that the only games that are played there are 8-yr old hordes playing the latest CCG.

If you want to visit Gamer's Realm - stick with the original up in the Princeton/Trenton area.

As to what to eat pretty anything is good. Places that locals like are usually the best. As to price range I don't think I would want to go over $20-$25 per person.
