Suggestions for a restaurant close to Cruise Dock

I%26#39;ll be in Philadelphia in Oct. for the day on a cruise ship.



As friends are coming to see me we would like to go have lunch ~~is there a nice luncheon restaurant fairly close to the Cruise Dock? I believe the Dock/terminal is located on Broad St.



Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated ~~



Thanks!

If I%26#39;m correct, the cruise terminal is at the old navy yard and there is NOTHING really near there. The closest would be McFadden%26#39;s pub at Citizens Bank Park (not sure what their schedule is offhand).





Or you could grab the subway from there and head into the city.

There%26#39;s the Frog at the Yard, which is an old Navy pipe factory that has been converted into a huge atrium type space with 2 counter service restaurants for lunch. The building was renovated by Urban Outfitters and is used mostly by people working there and at the several other companies which have relocated to the Navy Yard. It a great old building to check out just for the incredible architecture and the food is really good. Check out the website at www.frogattheyard.com.




Oooh, had no idea that place existed. Heck I might just stop there to eat if in the area... Anything done by frog/commissary is usually good!




Grrrreat news! A 1,000 ';thank you%26#39;s!'; I was so afraid we would need to take a Taxi to ';who knows where'; to have lunch.



We%26#39;ll certainly make plans to eat at ';Frog%26#39;s!'; Also I%26#39;ll share this dining option with fellow cruisemates ~~~and our Officer%26#39;s. They too may want to walk a%26#39;round and have luinch.





What do you suggest we have for lunch?



Thanks again~~

Just a heads up: I don%26#39;t think the restaurants in the Navy Yard are open on the weekends, in case that is when you are coming in. The food is actually pretty good at both places.




We%26#39;ll be there on a Mon. or Tues., so this will be perfect!



Thanks again for the great restaurant suggestion!
