What’s your favorite thing to do around your neighborhood once spring arrives?

Coming attractions

“I like to get up early and enjoy the sun while sweeping outside.�

Ecky Eckloff, Broad and Morris streets

“I like to ride my Harley far and fast.�

Brandon Matthews, Sixth Street and East Passyunk Avenue

“I like to ride my bike and get some exercise on these old legs.�

Robin White, Carlisle and Reed streets

“Golfing at FDR park is my favorite [thing] to do when spring arrives.�

Dave Rieser, Seventh and Shunk streets

M

arch 20 is a date we circled months ago using a permanent red marker. Many of us started counting down the days in December and January when it seemed like only a miracle could save us from sub-freezing temperatures.

The snow, although it wasn’t as bad as last year, seemed to come every other day in small doses. Talk about annoying. I felt like I was staring in a sequel to “Groundhog Day,� waking up every morning watching the newscasters analyze the compactness of the fluffy, white stuff. Please wake me up when winter’s over.

Close enough. This spring, South Philadelphia will be staring under the national spotlight. It starts with the NCAA Division I wrestling championships taking place March 17 to 19 at the Wells Fargo Center. On April 1, the World-Series favorite Philadelphia Phillies welcome the Houston Astros to town. This might be the most-hyped Phillies team of all-time. But will the Five Aces, Phantastic Five, Nightmares on Broad Street or whatever nickname the fans choose live up to all high expectations?

We can’t forget about the men in orange and black who will begin another pursuit of Lord Stanley’s Cup next

month. You’ll find pro sports schedules in this week’s expanded What’s Happening section starting on page 38.

But the Phillies and Flyers aren’t the only winners as this week’s issue features the Review’s annual Readers’ Choice Awards. Thanks for the hundreds who took the time to vote. This year’s ballot featured a slightly different look with the new sweet tooth section and highlighted some PG-rated adult activities in the form of quizzo (visit www.southphillyreview.com/contests to participate in a special Web-only game) and karaoke. Readers also had a chance to recognize South Philadelphia’s top police officer and teacher. Turn to page 6 to read about all of this year’s champions.

The celebration of winners continues 6 p.m. March 31 at Penns Landing Caterers, 1301 S. Columbus Blvd., where the top-three in each category will be recognized during a special three-hour event. Plus, many of the restaurants are rolling out their awardwinning items in what promises to be a fun spring night out. The event is open to the public. Tickets, which are only $5 in advance, can be purchased at the South Philly Review, 12th and Porter streets. SPR —Bill Gelman

Readers’ Choice 2011

The ballots poured in and the readers have selected their favorites in 40 categories ranging from wings to cannolis and from happy hour to tradition. The votes have been tallied, so here are the best of South Philly in 2011:

The star among its stars

S

troll over to Geno’s Steaks, 1219 S. Ninth St., and you’ll quickly notice an endless photo array of the who’s who of Hollywood. There’s Sylvester Stallone, Oprah Winfrey, Nicolas Cage among many others. But when the big name stars stop by this Italian Market landmark, they take a back seat to the A-list headliner: The cheesesteak. The co-stars of this show are the cheese (wiz, provolone or American) and french fries. Whether they like it wit’ or wit’out (that would be fried onions to the out-

Dining out and in of-towners), there is no doubt this 45-yearold, 24/7 institution continues to be the king among kings when it comes to the Readers’ Choice winner for best cheesesteak.

Although the competition was fierce in this meaty battle, Geno’s keeps the crown for the sixth year running. What could be bad? The institution has a staple of simple ingredients that keeps customers coming back for more. It starts with some thinly sliced rib-eye steak, topped with a

little melted cheese of choice that is neatly tucked into oven-fresh baked bread. If needed, other condiments can be added at the self-serve topping bar.

Now that it’s getting warmer out, be patient as the ordering line could wrap around the block. If you want to speed up the process, be prepared to order the moment you’re called to the window. Many around these parts will proclaim the sandwich is well worth the wait.

Jim’s Steaks and Phillip’s Steaks heated up the grill to deadlock in a secondplace tie.

s the city where the stacked-sandwich originated, no one knows hoagies better than Philadelphians.

And according to locals, no one knows the Italian hoagie better than PrimoHoagies, 1528 Ritner St., recognized as the best in its specialty for the third year in a row.

Turns out South Philly’s favorite hoagie spot is found at PrimoHoagies for its delicious Italian varieties .

By Editor Bill Gelman; Managing Editor Amanda L. Snyder; Staff Writer Joseph Myers; Contributors Alexis R. Abate, Jess Fuerst and Erica J. Minutella; and Interns Alvaro Balderas and Evan Jacoby Photos by Staff Photographer Greg Bezanis, Contributor Steve Langdon and Intern Ilana Bagel

Readers’ Choice 2011 “I think it’s about the way the guys make the hoagies,” manager Audrey Neigre said on why she feels PrimoHoagies has been recognized so consistently. “They concentrate on making them, and they do it the same every time.”

Primo’s basic Italian hoagie consists of a flavorful mix of prosciutto, provolone cheese, hot capacola and natural casing genoa salami. Although business is generally slower in the beginning of the week, it quickly picks up as the end of the week and the weekend approaches, with a lot of orders coming in from the Navy Yard.

Nakai Varalli, of the 800 block of Ellsworth Street, is a frequent customer at the Ritner Street location and usually sticks to Primo whenever the craving for a hoagie sets in.

“The bread is the best out of all the other [hoagie] places,” she said adding that the service at the store is also commendable.

The local shop has scattered a trail of bread crumbs since its humble beginnings at the South Philadelphia store, with around 70 locations throughout Philadelphia and the tri-state area and one in Maryland. Soon, Primo will open up its first shop in New York.

“My father, Richard Neigre, just thought of opening a little deli,” Neigre said. “All of a sudden, I guess the neighborhood word of mouth got really big …. We never in a million years thought it would be as popular as it is.”

Chickie’s Italian Deli sliced up at second place, while P&S Ravioli Co. rolled into third.

His staff’s creativity crafted three, a crème brûlée dish highlighted by vanilla anglaise maple syrup, a crunchy peanut butter concoction featuring a fresh berry compote and a stuffed version topped with a blackberry jam coulis.

The site contains a specials board that always includes what Slaughter says satisfies any urge for “a sweet, savory breakfast.”

Updated on Thursdays, it features a French toast option 90 percent of the time.

“Our specials board is a reflection of my staff’s creative freedom. It leads them to come up with all original, different ideas,” Slaughter, who also acts as the manager for Green Eggs’ Northern Liberties location, said.

All of his business partners are from South Philadelphia, too, so Slaughter enjoys presenting a menu that delights the whole area, especially Passyunk Square, which he tabs “a neighborhood in a great transition period.”

French for “burnt cream,” the crème brûlée fittingly stands out, but Slaughter revels in the acceptance it and its brethren have garnered.

“All three of our French toasts are received highly by our customers, and we thank them for giving us this honor so early into our existence,” he said.

Penrose Diner made sweet with second place, and Sabrina’s Café buttered up with third.

The 15-month-old establishment takes this year’s honor for best French toast.

A Bella Vista native and a Marconi resident, Slaughter sees his location as a part of a neighborhood teeming with promise. To keep its patrons’ taste buds jazzed, Green Eggs, whose name derives from a Dr. Seuss book and reflects its eco-friendly identity and breakfast offerings, serves an all-day menu; therefore, hungry stomachs can sate desires for French toast anytime between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Craving white pizza? Sam Cacia shows off a freshly-baked sheet of his awardwinning recipe.

Uncle Oogie’s Pizzeria deliveryman Jason Barry shows off one of the eatery’s scrumptious burger.

on an 18-inch-by-26-inch sheet pan.

“The duration of its creation is probably one of the reasons people like it,” Cacia, with 33 years of service, said. “When you make a product that’s fresh everyday, with an original family recipe, people know, and the taste is obvious.”

He credits his grandmother with his establishment’s recipes and always has dough ready to prepare white pizza.

“In the grand economic scale, pizza is not a really expensive item, but people still covet quality. We pride ourselves on giving them that,” Cacia, whose clan oversees six more bakeries in Delaware County and New Jersey, said.

His white pizza enjoys its greatest popularity during the Lenten and Christmas seasons. Four generations of Cacias have been able to hawk the goody, known in their Calabria homeland as “pizza bianca.”

As the current overseer, Cacia appreciates the acceptance of his creation.

“When the people speak to you and tell you you’re doing a good job, it means more than any other type of award you can get,” he said.

Celebre’s Pizzeria did not blank out, finishing in second place, while City Pizza baked up a third-place result.

it best burger and top delivery service.

Deriving its name from a nephew’s mispronunciation of co-owner Louie Cerone’s name, Oogie’s crafts eight burgers, all weighing eight ounces.

“Our most popular are the black and bleu and the bacon cheeseburger,” Eleanor Hewes, who joined Oogie’s last year after working at its Sea Isle City, N.J., location, said.

Under Cerone and his sister Carol, the location offers all-day deliveries, with burgers, cheesesteaks, chicken sandwiches and pizza receiving the most requests.

As long as an order is substantial and enough drivers are available, Oogie’s will deliver to all of South Philadelphia. It employs up to five weekday deliverers and up to nine weekend helpers to send hot goodies to eager eaters.

“We aim to provide quick deliveries, so we hire drivers with experience, guys who care about quality service,” Hewes said.

Those employees have been especially busy lately, as Oogie’s is running daily Lenten specials for those looking to give burgers a break. Fresh Kaiser rolls secure each patty, which comes with lettuce, tomato and onion. Stars in a lineup that includes fries, hoagies, pasta, salads, sandwiches, stromboli, wings and wraps, the burgers have earned approval from Hewes, who is happy the public eats them up, too.

“It’s great to win for both, but especially burgers,” she said. “We put in a ton of effort to make them great.”

For burger, Stogie Joe’s Tavern formed a second-place finish, and Penrose Diner, Royal Tavern and Steak ’Em Up solidified third.

For delivery service, City Pizza ordered second, while Johnny Chang’s Chinese Restaurant and Sushi Bar knocked on third.

Delivery time at Mr. Wings usually falls between 30 and 45 minutes. When the staff is not busy filling orders, they take advantage of a break in the hectic flow of the day to clean up.

have this honor.”

Ippolito’s Seafood Co. cooked up a second-place finish, and Dad’s Stuffing prepared a third-place showing.

Penrose Diner rolled in to second place, while Uncle Oogie’s Pizzeria wrapped up third.

Rapping about wraps

Freezing the competition

lthough Californians may have invented the wrap in the 1990s, Q102 DJ Rocco Cima knew how to reinvent it enough to make it the best in South Philadelphia. At Fuel, 1917 E. Passyunk Ave., which opened in September 2009, Cima prides himself on supporting local farms and farmers markets, as they often supply the ingredients for his healthy menu options.

“I think that people are just very refreshed to have something that’s made fresh and homemade with the best ingredients, rather than doing the typical cheesesteak,” Cima said.

The menu promises meals that are less than 500 calories. Among the many eclectic wraps are smoked salmon, Thai chicken or tofu, and eggplant and cheese. The Fuel stacker, the restaurant’s signature wrap, offers a mix of grilled zucchini, grilled squash, roasted portabello, grilled eggplant and fresh mozzarella, tomato and pesto.

Fuel, a Rubik’s-Cube-restaurant of sleek, geometrical lines and primary colors, saw the opening of a Center City location in November. By the end of the month, Fuel will become a franchise with plans to open several more locations.

A typical day at the café can see up to 200 orders at lunchtime and around the same amount at dinner. A steady stream of corporate catering jobs around the city rounds out the hectic schedule.

“We strive to always use 100 percent organic [food] and we work hard to give the best product possible,” Cima said. “We put a lot of hours and a lot of work into doing that, and we’re very appreciative that the people of South Philadelphia recognize that.”

icture a decadent helping of rich vanilla ice cream, painted in dark swirls of chocolate syrup with a jaunty maraschino cherry on top and you’ll have an image of the ideal sundae. It’s a frozen masterpiece that Millie’s Ice Cream Parlor has been perfecting for the past 70 years, and locals recognize these decades of experience have made it the best in the area.

Millie’s has seen three owners over its long history, but its current head Joseph Viola, who bought the property in 2006, attributes the win to the quality of the corner store’s products.

“Besides our ice cream, all our food is mostly homemade,” Viola said.

In addition to the standard sundae servings, most customers of the 1441-ShunkSt.-venue like to add a bit of flare to their frozen dessert ordering anything and everything to top off their sundaes.

“Marshmallows, nuts, you name it,” Viola said. “Every sundae’s usually different.”

The small neighborhood stop offers a quaint mix of delicatessen, lunchery and ice cream parlor. It remains a favorite afterschool spot among elementary students, probably owing to the appeal of its items’ affordable prices — all less than $10.

With everything from burgers to jalapeño poppers to funnel cake, ice cream is still the primary draw for most customers.

Other than the sundae, Viola said the banana split also is popular.

While business can be chaotic at times, especially in the evening hours, Viola continues to strive to keep the promise of quality in appreciation of its customers.

Joe Joe’s Pizza & Variety scooped up second place, while Penrose Diner slid into third.

n an era where many restaurants struggle to balance quality with quantity, Scannicchio’s Italian Restaurant, 2500 S. Broad St., masters both. Thanks to co-owners Christian Varalli and Michael Gibson, the Marconi locale has enjoyed nothing but success in its eight years. It can now boast even more, as voters named it this year’s best Italian restaurant and BYOB. The lifelong compadres guide a staff of 15 in offering traditional Italian fare, with stuffed artichokes, a grilled romaine salad and a massive fish selection, which receives special kudos in Lent, highlighting their patrons’ favorites. The chefs have great respect for their customers’ palates and wallets, and Varalli feels their attention to both scored them their victories.

“We aim for variety with our menu,” he said. “The prices of commodities have risen, and many places cut down their portions. We aim to have a place where customers feel at ease while spending their hard-earned money.”

To ensure comfort, the duo offers large dinner plates for moderate prices and lunches packing a ton of taste. If one craves beef, fish, pasta or pork, Scannicchio’s, which claims its third Italian prize in four years, can oblige.

“We treat our customers the way we would want others to treat us if we were diners,” Varalli said.

The restaurant’s BYOB feature also aims to inspire relaxation.

“It adds value to the dining experience,” Gibson said. “You can enjoy what you want.”

The BYOB win is Scannicchio’s fifth in six years and proves customers are tipsy on Varalli and Gibson’s setup.

“We thank everyone,” Varalli said, “and we look to please everyone.”

For restaurant, Paradiso attained bliss in second place, and Ristorante Pesto spiced up the third spot. For BYOB, Pesto licensed the second slot, and Ristorante Tre Scalini drank up third place.

W

ith foodie blogs cropping up on area websites over the past few years, it’s no wonder local diners have become more discerning when it comes to expecting not only the best foods, but also enough diverse flavor to keep their taste buds properly exercised.

Since its 2006 opening, Johnny Chang’s Chinese Restaurant and Sushi Bar, 2601 S. Broad St., has fit the bill for quality service and culinary variety so consistently they’ve been voted best ethnic restaurant for the third year running.

For manager David Lin, the key to Johnny Chang’s success is the emphasis on cleanliness and fresh food, as well as recognizing the need to pay attention to his patrons’ diverse tastes. He also credits the importance of having an experienced cook on hand to choose just the right sauce to go with each dish.

“You always have to think of what the customer wants,” Lin said. “And the other things are easy. Just service on time, and every couple of years we’ve got to change a little bit to keep a nice-looking restaurant.”

When customers informed Lin they wanted more privacy for sit-down service, he was quick to respond. Just two months ago, he added a partition dividing the hostess counter from the dining area, creating a smaller, more intimate space.

According to Lin, customers partial to takeout can expect speedy service, as weekend delivery turn-around time is about 30 minutes. During the week, a delivery can be as fast as 10 minutes. The most popular orders include wonton soup, and the chicken and beef broccoli menu options.

Lin plans to launch a second restaurant — Mikawa, whose primary focus will be on sushi — in Center City next month.

“We care about our customers and always ask their opinions, so we keep our customers a long time,” Lin said. “When we ask an

ow many restaurants prepare their meals with fresh ingredients? What about with imported delicacies and authentic recipes? Pizzeria Pesto does.

Only eight months after cutting the ribbon, Pizzeria Pesto, 1925 S. Broad St., has already become a South Philly sensation by being voted favorite new restaurant. Coowners John Varallo and Claudio Conigliaro take pride in their product making sure every meal is prepared in the classic Italian tradition. Even with all the care and preparation that goes into their food, receiving the recognition came as a surprise.

“We didn’t anticipate the success this fast. I would say that once we got some nice reviews that is when things started going well,” Conigliaro said.

Their one-of-a-kind Italian recipes made of specialty gourmet toppings are only part of the reason why Pizzeria Pesto boasts one of South Philly’s most unique tastes, Conigliaro said. He is confident that the service along with a renovated layout of the restaurant is another.

“This is more like a dining restaurant and not your typical pizza shop,” he said.

Varallo, who also owns Ristorante Pesto up the street from Pizzeria Pesto, and Conigliaro planned the new restaurant after the success of Ristorante Pesto.

“My brother-in-law asked me if I would be interested in venturing into a new project. I used to work at pizza shops before so I said, ‘why not? Let’s give it a try,’” Conigliaro said.

Margharita pizza is one of customers’ favorites. Pizzas range from $7 to $15 while pastas and salads vary from $7 to $12.

Second and third place honors went to Green Eggs Café and Asian Fusion and Steak Asian Restaurant, respectively. SPR

hen it comes to morning pick-meups, South Philly runs on Black N Brew. Area residents may wander bleary-eyed into the 1523-E.-Passyunk-Ave. corner spot, but they leave with pep in their step and a smile on their face.

“We think it’s awesome,” co-owner Colleen DeCesare said of the win for best specialty coffee/hot beverage. “It’s our goal.

We really strive to do the best we can. Service our customers in a friendly consistent way and provide a relaxing environment for them to meet in.”

Recently celebrating four years on the avenue, the first-time venture for partners DeCesare and Jennifer Kaufman — who share digs at Eighth and Watkins streets — is still causing a stir for people looking for a tasty drink or even a satisfying bite to eat.

“Mocha latte,” Kaufman said when asked what customers seem to prefer. “We do a lot of Chai lattes and we have sugars and syrups. Chocolate and caramel and hazelnut, vanilla — people don’t know about flavor combining.”

Along with sweet libations, the coffee spot has breakfast offerings whipped up by DeCesare while Kaufman mans the front counter. However, the couple maintains that while the food and drink is worth the trip, the people keep customers coming back.

“I think that’s what sets our coffee apart, it is the service that comes with it,” DeCesare said. “We are friendly, open and energetic.

There are no attitudes here.”

“The environment [sets us apart],” Kaufman added. “It’s a big family. The environment, the coffee, the staff — the overall environment and the quality of the goods sold.”

Pouring in to second place was sweettooth specialist Potito’s Bakery, while a third-place cup went to Anthony’s Italian Coffee House. SPR

classic chilled lemon margarita with salt sounds good after a long day of work. Afraid you will run a tab and waist your freshly cashed check?

Cantina Los Caballitos’ renowned Mexican drink will leave money in your wallet. Wrap your lips around $2 margaritas or some cold $2 Mexican suds. These specials have helped Cantina become South Philly’s favorite spot for drink specials/happy hour.

Serving 4 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, Cantina, 1651 E. Passyunk Ave, is rapidly becoming the it spot for happy hour sousing. The Mexican experience Cantina presents can be enjoyed outside on their lounge chairs that are set against their adobe’s red facade which distinguishes Cantina on the avenue.

“I know we get really good turnouts

here not just because [of] our prices, but because we are in such a great neighborhood spot,” Cantina manager Renee Rowlett said. “You add the time we serve and the quality of ingredients we use in every drink and it turns out to be a good place to come and enjoy the afternoon.”

But it is just not the mouth-foaming drinks, the eye-popping prices or even the relaxing scene that has made Cantina such a hit with South Philadelphians. A lot of their success is credited to their staff that provides the friendliest service while serving tequila-based concoctions, Rowlett said.

“The care our staff puts on the customers and drinks is great. We take great pride serving South Philly and it has shown,” she said.

Besides Mexican imports, Cantina offers an array of local beers, as well as craft and draft brews that are rotated weekly. Draft suds are half-off during happy hour.

“Because it’s a meeting place for everyone who has the same cheering desire,” Ciarrocchi said. “It’s a Philadelphia institution. We cry when we lose and cheer when we win.”

Chicke’s and Pete’s trademarked Crabfries can be found on just about every table, no matter what time of day. Little did Ciarrocchi know when these little crispy treats were invented back in they late 1970s that they would skyrocket into the food stratosphere. They are so popular that the restaurant goes through between one-and-a-half to two million pounds of potatoes a year to keep the customers satisfied.

“They just took off,” Ciarrocchi said of the specially seasoned Crabfries. “More money is spent on Crabfries at Lincoln Financial Field then any other food. It’s the No. 1 food product sold at sporting events.”

In the quick bite category, Talk of the Town was the second favorite stop while Celebre’s and Philadium shared fans for third. In the french fry battle, Geno’s greased up second and Steak ’Em Up filled the order for third.

rivia rarely fails to attract interest.

Lou Maglio, the owner of The Station Bar & Grill, 1550 McKean

St., realized its draw 18 months ago. Voters have let him know he made a good move, giving his Newbold location the top quizzo award.

Station has hosted the competition for more than half of its two-and-a-half-year existence, livening often dull Tuesday evenings with inquiries on such topics as history, music, sports and the ever-bewitching miscellany. Popular among college students, the game enables minutial maniacs to tackle daunting probes like “How many ridges are on a U.S. quarter?”

Maglio, a resident of the 1600 block of McKean Street, occasionally participates yet strays from being as fanatical about it as others are. He keeps their spirits high with drink specials and rewards winners with gift certificates. The games typically begin at 9 p.m. and always leave the crowds thirsty for more tests.

“Oh, yeah, it can become animated,” Maglio said of a typical session.

Having gained most of its legacy in Philadelphia through the efforts of advocate Johnny Goodtimes, who hosted last month’s Quizzo Bowl VII in University City, the game has built a reputation as a true examination of one’s trivia skills.

Maglio is happy the community finds his establishment’s rendition a hit.

“We are always looking for participants,” he said. “Come by, grab a brew and try your luck.”

South Philly Tap Room answered the challenge in second place, while Wolf Street Café solved third.

The most exciting Stogie Joe’s event occurs at 9 p.m. Tuesdays, when their awardwinning karaoke event kicks off with host DJ Anthony Biondo from Biondo Entertainment Services. Biondo gets the crowd rocking weekly with a fun night of audience participation of singing classic hits.

“Anthony brings great energy; he’s lively with the audience,” DiOrio said. “He really knows the crowd and they have a great time.”

With a variety of events and specials, it’s no surprise that this East Passyunk Avenue tavern has become a local favorite. For those looking to just sit down and have a drink, readers agree that the tavern, which offers a variety of beers on tap, has become an area hot spot.

Wolf Street Café took home second place in the karaoke voting, while The Station Bar & Grill came in third.

Quattro Bar & Grill received the second most votes for neighborhood bar, and Philadium Tavern finished third. SPR

Fashion-forward boutique

I

n September 2009, Alexis Fiordimondo Allegretto opened a boutique at 2403 S. Broad St., and, in less than two years, Fashionably Ever After, moved up to become the best shop for kids’ clothing.

The former pharmaceutical sales representative always had a dream of one day owning and operating her own business.

It was just a matter of taking that leap of faith. After noticing the number of charming boutiques popping up in New Jersey, the fashion aficionado wanted to bring a similar concept closer to home.

“They were more fashion-forward and we needed that in our community,” she said.

In April ’09, she did just that. A little behind on purchasing for the next season, she hustled to finish the paperwork, scoped out locations and had a designer draft the store’s layout all with the intent of opening at the start of one of retail’s busiest seasons — back to school.

With a “good mix of traditional and trendy,” Allegretto said of her pint-sized boutique that has something for everyone. Car-

No Barry-ers to success

Fellow Neumann-Goretti English teacher Leo Cittadini ranked second while George Sharswood fourth-grade teacher Alexandra Panetta took third.

Kid-approved meals

N

early 60 years old, Barry Playground is in the prime of its recreational life. Originating at 18th and Johnston streets and stretching approximately four square blocks, it serves as an aesthetically-pleasing location for athletics, crafts, dog walks and fitness.

Its amenities have garnered the spot this year’s top park/playground prize.

Nicknamed Johnston’s Field, the facility takes its name from Commodore John Barry, a Revolutionary War naval hero. No cannon fire rends the air at the Marconi site, but basketballers regularly launch their best shots there. Future baseball stars compete adjacent to the hoopsters as part of the Delaware Valley Youth Athletic Association, an organization Barry has hosted for almost 55 years. Touch footballers share space with the diamond denizens, and two hardcourts please anyone looking for a tennis match or an impromptu game of stickball.

Slides, swings and a jungle gym intensify pulses and parents’ smiles. Summer will welcome Barry’s well-maintained pool, but every day offers dog owners a chance to prance their pooches on the perimeter.

“Barry is a safe and clean park. Baseball is a huge draw,” Philadelphia Parks and Recreation District 7 manager Steve Goldman said of the appeal of the facility.

At the end of the month, he will pick up five more venues and three more pools to complement the district’s seven current aquatic opportunities. Adding more areas means Barry will have extra competition, but Goldman wants its users to revel because he is doing so.

“As district manager, I am very proud that the readers have given Barry Playground such a well-deserved award,” he said.

Columbus Square Park looked pretty in second place, and Marconi Plaza bounded into third.

An innovative educator

S

ince she first began as a substitute teacher at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., six years ago, Jamie Varallo, developed her own effective classroom technique. After two teachers retired, and during the beginning stage of the schools’ merger, she jumped in head first and soon found her niche among faculty and students alike.

She teaches freshman and junior underclassmen to unravel Shakespearean sonnets and classic English literature while

Hoopsters of all ages take their game to Barry Playground. With so much to offer, including swings, jungle gyms and tennis courts, the outdoor venue is the readers’ favorite recreational site.

Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School English teacher Jamie Varallo has made a lasting impression on her students. Although she will relocate at the end of the school year, readers gave her an A as a teacher. adapting them to modern times. The head of The Crown newspaper and the brainchild behind the school’s now three-yearold full-fledged Renaissance Faire, her impact is widespread. What initially began as an assignment in her classroom soon included other departments once she proposed the idea to administration. For all of these reasons, it’s no wonder Varallo was named best teacher.

“Jamie is innovative,” principal Patricia Sticco said about the deserving educator.

“She teaches the 21st-century student and addresses how they are learning.”

With an intense focus on project-based work, Varallo brings an un-wavered enthusiasm into her classroom.

“I give 100 percent to my students everyday,” she said. “My biggest thing is I’ve always tried to relate my material I’m doing — whether it’s British literature or Shakespeare — to how they can connect the now to what happened then.”

With that in mind, one lesson the 30-yearold Temple and Neumann University grad-

uate highlights is having her students read, interpret, write and perform a modern play when covering Homer’s “The Odyssey.”

According to Sticco, Varallo is a model teacher who commands attention and engages the students while avoiding discipline problems. Although her students may be far removed from the topics she covers, Varallo loves when one of them reaches that “a-ha” moment or when a struggling student works extra hard to pull up their grade.

“My favorite thing would have to be once I know that the student understands a concept or they feel comfortable enough to discuss what we’re learning,” she said.

“That’s the moment I feel accomplished.”

But this recognition is bittersweet because Varallo, who will wed in June, also will relocate to California at the end of the school year. Amidst shock and surprise, she knows it couldn’t have come at a better time.

“My experience at Neumann-Goretti has been amazing,” she said. “It’s a very special place and one of a kind.”

ny local resident walking into the Penrose Diner, 2016 Penrose Ave., knows what to expect — quality. Whether it’s the freshly-prepared meal or friendly waitstaff, customers always feel at home.

Ranking high among South Philadelphians is something the Penrose Diner has come to know well over the years. Nominated twice for best diner, the local establishment also serves up a top-rated kids menu.

Since diners are known for preparing classic American dishes, it only makes sense this popular eatery would do the same when it came to their options for the under 12 variety. Offering regular menu selections ranging from chicken fingers to grilled cheese and hamburgers, the establishment also switches it up with specialty macaroni-and-cheese bites and homecooked turkey and stuffing.

The latter are big hits among the tykes, Manager Bill Dovas said. All kids’ lunch and dinner choices are served complete with dessert – a choice between gelatin, pudding or ice cream – and a small drink — all reasonably priced at less than $7.

“We just offer kids a variety, we give them a fun cup to play with and the price is right,” Dovas said.

The manager of six years also attributes the continued success to the restaurant’s bright, inviting atmosphere.

“Our waitstaff is great, a lot of them have kids and they know how to relate to kids, they talk to the kids, play with them,” he said.

But whatever the reason, Penrose stays on top and Dovas gladly accepts any accolades thrown their way.

Melrose Diner served up second while the Oregon Diner and Uncle Oogie’s Pizzeria tied for third. SPR

A Philadelphia institution

And the rest ...

Police protection

L

istening to and addressing residents’ safety concerns east of Broad Street day in and day out may seem like a tedious task, but Officer Juan “Ace” Delgado absolutely enjoys working in South Philly. Its residents returned the love by naming Delgado top police officer.

“The readers voted for me? That is so cool,” he said upon learning of the award.

The 47-year-old has worked in South Philly’s 3rd District, which runs Lombard to I-95 east of Broad, during his entire tenure in the department. His 17-year career started on South Street before moving to 11th and Wharton streets where he has remained in the role of community relations officer for the past 12 years.

“I think a lot of times it’s how you communicate with people,” Delgado, a father of three, who has been married to wife Mirta for 11 years, said. “Service — not just that I give them, but the service the district gives them, I think they’re happy

with how the service with the police department is.”

Delgado was formerly a jeweler, but prior to joining the force in 1994, he and some buddies decided took the test to become an officer. He was the only one to pass.

“That was the funny part,” Delgado said. “They all wanted the job. I had my jewelry job.”

As the community relations officer, he is a 3rd District point of contact — a job he now shares with Officer Gary Harkins, who previously served in the role for the 4th District prior to a merge a year ago — handling resident’s concerns and complaints, as well as working with area civics and schools to solve any problems. He and Harkins, who primarily deals with the south side while Delgado sticks with his familiar grounds north of Tasker Street, organize the district’s annual Christmas party, children’s finger printing events and summer movie nights.

While he’s had the option to transfer out many times before, the Northeast resident wouldn’t trade the South Philly residents or his 3rd District colleagues.

A

3rd District Community Relations Officer Juan “Ace” Delgado is proud to win the readers’ secure vote for best police officer.

“They keep me smiling, so I think that’s always a good thing,” he said.

1st District Officer Michael Baker and 3rd District Officer Owen McGuire tied for secondary honors.

Word on the Street

s anyone in the Delaware Valley knows, the Mummers Parade is synonymous with not only New Year’s Day, but Philadelphia, so it’s no wonder the readers awarded it as best South Philadelphia tradition.

What started more than 100 years ago and is now one of the longest-running parades in the country, the Mummers’ performances each year embody everything Philadelphia.

“We’re all Philadelphia at heart,” Bob Shannon Jr., New Years Shooters and Mummers Association president, said.

“We have a good time together and always go the extra mile to be part of South Philadelphia.”

Impacting generations, several clubs have been taking their acts on the road and across continents for years, Shannon said.

This year alone, Quaker City String Band will travel to Spain, Woodland to Ireland and Fralinger to Asia.

“We do a lot of jobs throughout the country and the world and are pleased to take the sound of Philadelphia all over,” the former Quaker City String band captain and member of the board of directors said.

“There’s nothing better to do than going to see the Phillies play.”

Marin Kiltore, 17th and Pierce streets

“First thing I do is get my spring clothes on and head to the casino. I also like to hang out outside and have fun with friends.”

Jessica Grant, 12th and Jackson streets

“I like to talk to all the neighbors I haven’t seen throughout winter since everyone has been cooped up inside.”

Jay Williams, Broad and Wolf streets

“My favorite thing to do is to take my kids to the park.”

Readers’ Choice 2011 No matter where they travel, Shannon said, the welcoming audience is eager to learn more about their different cultures and styles. Dressed from head to toe, the five divisions, consisting of thousands of Mummers, practice hard for months to put on a unique performance each year. The unrivaled form of entertainment ushering in the New Year — that spans the length of South Broad Street and the inside of the Convention Center — is one facet children and adults alike always remember.

“We work hard on it and are really pleased that everyone feels that way,” he said about the honor. “That’s great, that’s absolutely super.”

The Columbus Day Parade and Italian Festival marched in for a tie at second.

A berry-good honor

The Mummers, who strut up Broad Street each New Year’s day for the Mummers Parade, won the readers’ vote for best South Philly tradition.

O

ne of many now appearing locally in a growing trend throughout the city, the Fountain Farmers Market has certainly kept customers happy as purchasing produce locally in their neighborhood has never been easier. Thus, they voted it as the best farmers market.

“We’re thrilled,” East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District’s main street manager Renee Gilinger said of the recognition. “The market really hit its stride [last] year. We received over 250 shoppers each week.”

The Center City-based group Farm To City lines up the farmers whose goods have appeared at the fountain, East Passyunk at 11th and Tasker streets, 3 to 7 p.m. each Wednesday from about May through October since 2006.

“It all depends” Gilinger said on the seasonal market’s duration. “It’s based around the strawberries. When the strawberries come up, the market starts. We usually know a few weeks ahead of time.”

Aside from the fresh berries, the three participating farmers surrounding the intersection’s aesthetically-pleasing “singing” fountain offer other fruits, vegetables, Amish cheese, meat, bread, honey, baked goods and cut flowers.

“You actually have the opportunity to compare produce between farmers,” Gilinger said of the multiple 20-foot stands bursting with fresh products.

This summer, the avenue also will offer free, metered parking for patrons after 3 p.m. on the day of the market whose variety allows residents the opportunity for onestop shopping and even the appeal of perusing the nearby avenue’s shops and enjoying dinner at one of its many restaurants.

“I think it being close to all the other

droves of kids, are the most recognizable sites in the flick and became tourist sites.

But let’s not forget of course the Philadelphia Zoo where he proposed to the lovely Adrian, Mighty Mick’s Gym where they took away his locker or his beaten down rowhome apartment where he housed Cuff, Link, Moby Dick and Butkis.

Not only did the Rocky character personify the city of Philadelphia with a story of redemption, but the infamous soundtracks including Survivor‘s “Eye of the Tiger” gave a distinguishable feel to the city as he unorthodoxly trained to them.

The movie itself grossed more than $225 million — the highest in 1976, and was nominated for 10 Academy Awards — winning three — including Best Picture.

It ranks 78th in American Film Institute’s 100 Years … 100 Movies list and lands No. 2 for best sports film.

Whether it was Apollo Creed patronizing fans, Clubber Lang‘s ridiculous earrings, the steroid head Ivan Drago, the scrub Tommy Gunn or the overrated Mason Dixon, Rocky represented Philly, well, beating everybody and leaving an everlasting impression on the streets of South Philadelphia.

“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” was the runner-up while the “Invincible” received third-place recognition.

great, great businesses around it is very helpful to its popularity,” Gilinger said.

“The fact that it’s close to other things — folks don’t have to go out of their way.”

Some still prefer the Italian Market placing it second while Lower Moyamensing’s market at Fels Community Center nabbed third.

and last, but certainly not least, “The Italian Stallion.” So it comes as no surprise Sylvester Stallone’s “Rocky” films were voted best movie/TV show shot in South Philadelphia.

Although some may not like that a fictional character has become synonymous with the area, Rocky Balboa put Philadelphia on the map for people who have never come to the City of Brotherly Love. People from out of the state or even the country flock to infamous sites where Rocky roamed.

outh Philadelphia has so much to offer that not everything can receive kudos at once. Mindful that cleanliness is next to godliness, voters have named hair/nail salon as the top category not on this list.

Spring makes people want to look and feel sharp, and this winner proves that ballot-fillers have beauty on their brains.

Seeking to pair their bodies’ renewal with the season’s, they gave this selection more than one-third of the vote.

The area’s numerous facilities ensure that any urge to spruce up one’s follicles or cuticles will meet someone’s willing and skillful hands. This choice signifies that economic difficulties can do little to thwart a desire for hygienic improvements and means that lovely ladies soon will be even more irresistible.

Preferences abound when seeking a location for a snip and/or a clip, with little distance between shops meaning even a last-minute request will not go in vain.

Thanks to their numbers, hair/nail salons can claim a huge role in making the area a prettier place.

Bok Tech football coach Tom DeFelice, who will retire at the end of the school year, was voted as best coach.

This Tom is no turkey

T

om DeFelice opposes those who feel talent is selective.

“Everybody has a little stardom inside. Coaches and teachers are the ones who make it blossom,” he said when learning of his victory as top high school coach.

No stranger to plaudits, the long-tenured figure at Edward Bok Technical High School, 1901 S. Ninth St., adds another achievement to his 42-year career at the Passyunk Square school.

DeFelice claims his second honor in three weeks. On March 4, the Glen Mills resident received the Maxwell Club’s Robert T. Clark Award for his contributions to high school football. He headed the Wildcats’ varsity team for 18 seasons and amassed 129 wins. A successful turn as a baseball coach and time as a health and physical education instructor further prove his love for educating.

“A good coach must first be a good teacher, DeFelice, who will retire in June, said of communicating with his players.

He learned how to be both by gorging on instruction from his own mentors.

“I am respectful of my lineage because I know there is no harder job than being an educator,” he said.

Departing from Bok will not end his time as an inspiring voice. He wishes to start a community outreach program for

It’s a pleasure to watch the boys at Neumann-Goretti High School dominate on the basketball court as the team won its second straight Catholic League and City championship. inner-city children. If he follows through, others surely will sample his spunk.

“Being called ‘coach’ is invigorating,” he said. “Being called ‘top coach’ is even more so.”

Neumann-Goretti boys’ basketball coach Carl Arrigale boxed out in second place, while the Saints’ baseball coach Lou Spadaccini swung away in third.

Saints are golden

S

outh Philly has spoken and once again has voted Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., best high school team making the Saints South Philadelphia’s athletic juggernauts.

Of course fans of the school have to give love to the Saints after witnessing the program achieve athletic excellence season after season with the boy’s basketball team setting the bar for its fellow athletes.

The black and gold fields squads in football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, golf, soccer, lacrosse, bowling and softball although most of the schools recognition comes from the achievements on the hardwood and diamond.

Talent, grit and determination form the trinity of the teams’ keys to success. Earlier this month, the boys’ basketball squad captured its second straight Catholic League and City crowns and the boys’ baseball team will begin defense of its Catholic

League and City titles next week.

This season the Saints’ basketball team made history by becoming the Catholic League champions for the third straight year.

“It‘s such a good thing that the school is recognized.” athletic director Pat DiPilla said. “It shows just how much commitment and work each and every one of our teams puts in every season. I know our school and all our teams take pride in seeing each other succeed and every one deserves this.”

Southern once again came in second while Bok took third-place.

No birdbrains here

W

ith arguably one of the best, if not the best starting rotations in Major League Baseball history, it really comes as no surprise that the Philadelphia Phillies have been voted favorite pro sports team in South Philly for the third consecutive year.

All one really has to do to see how much Phillies love is in South Philly is to take a stroll through the streets and see the sea of red with residents sporting a Phillies’ jersey or lid, not to mention the adorned houses and cars.

One thing any fan wants of his or her team before a season begins is for it to have the capacity of reaching the mountain top. For the past several years, Phil-

For the third straight year, readers recognized manager Charlie Manuel for his role as the Phillies’ leader. lies fans have been climbing comfortably to the postseason on a ski lift, winning their division four years in a row and winning more than 89 games every season since 2007.

In ’10, the Phillies notched 93 victories, tying the 1993 squad‘s for most wins in a season. When it comes to Philadelphia baseball, fans expect nothing short than a trip to the series. Phillies fans haven’t felt this good going into a season since after winning the ’08 championship.

The hopes and ambitions of South Philly fans rest on the arms of reigning National League Cy Young winner Roy Halladay; Cliff Lee, who has been the ace for the past three World Series teams; ’08 World Series MVP Cole Hamels and three-time all-star Roy Oswalt. South Philadelphians have more than one reason to love the Phillies.

Readers’ Choice 2011 title, a franchise record. The team was unable to reach the World Series like it had the previous two seasons, but Manuel’s success at the helm of this powerhouse squad has been recognized once again.

Manuel led the Phillies to a 2008 World Series Championship, followed by a slim defeat to the New York Yankees in the ’09 series. Last year, the Phillies cruised into the National League Championship Series, but were upset by the eventual-champion San Francisco Giants. Despite coming up short of his goals, Manuel did a commendable job with a roster filled with injuries throughout the season.

Heading into the ’11 campaign, Manuel and the Phillies are once again favorites to win the National League. The oldest skipper in baseball, now in his seventh season in Philadelphia, has a historically great pitching rotation to work with after the team re-acquired star left-hander Cliff Lee this offseason.

Manuel’s most important task this season will be shaping his lineup to replace the offensive production of several departed hitters. All-Star outfielder Jayson Werth signed a lucrative contract with the Washington Nationals in the off-season, leaving the team void of its best right-handed hitter. Recent news also broke that the team’s superstar second baseman, Chase Utley, is

in ’11, and there’s no man that they would rather have guiding the team than mildmannered Charlie Manuel.

Eagles’ coach Andy Reid finished second while the Flyers’ Peter LaViolette came in third.

Serious Series

O Readers showed their love for the Phillies as the best pro team while most recalled their 2008 World Series victory as the fondest memory. dealing with a knee injury that may require surgery. Utley’s status for Opening Day is very much in question.

Concerns about the offense can be settled when considering the team’s incredible pitching rotation, as well as their wildly successful manager, who just last week signed a two-year extension. Manuel has won at least 85 games in every season with Philadelphia. Phillies fans have hopes

n Oct. 29, 2008, 45,940 people witnessed firsthand the Philadelphia Phillies capture the World Series.

It seems that many people voted to honor that final night of a wonderful campaign, as the baseball bunch’s five-game triumph over the Tampa Bay Rays overwhelmingly claims this year’s top Philadelphia pro sports memory.

In bringing the franchise a championship to complement its 1980 crown and the city its first major title in 25 years, the Phillies gave new meaning to the year’s leapyear status, as the boisterous fans who saw Brad Lidge’s strikeout of Eric Hinske elevated their feet in gratitude. The 4-3 victory exorcised years of sporting frustration and led to a Halloween celebration down Broad Street.

Played over two days because of horrific rain, the clincher saw the Fightin’ Phils grab a 2-0 first-inning lead on a single by center

fielder Shane Victorino at Citizens Bank Park. The Rays knotted the tally at 3-3 in the seventh, but since-departed third baseman Pedro Feliz plated pinch-runner Eric Bruntlett with a bottom-of-the-frame single.

Lidge, seeking redemption after postseason heartbreak as a member of the Houston Astros, may have caused anxiety in the ninth by yielding a single and a stolen base, but he certainly incited revelry by throwing his trademark slider past an overmatched Hinske.

“The 0-2 pitch, swing and a miss, struck him out,” longtime announcer Harry Kalas, who died the following April, bellowed.

“The Philadelphia Phillies are 2008 World Champions of baseball!”

At the parade, second baseman Chase Utley, who slugged two home runs in the series, added a taboo adjective to Kalas’ description, prompting even more elation.

With a rich rotation, including Series MVP Cole Hamels, in place to set up Lidge, Utley and his offensive mates may have another chance to utter joy come autumn.

Their Stanley Cup victories in ’74 and ‘75 iced second place for the Flyers, while last year’s Eastern Conference quarterfinals comeback against the Boston Bruins scored third. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/news.

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Too many geese?

F

inally somebody figured out what our big problem is in the suburbs of Philadelphia: Too many geese. In its finest tradition of investigative reporting, The Inquirer uncovered the story last week. Geese are dumping on us. And I do mean dumping. Sometimes those of us who live in the city don’t appreciate the horrific conditions suburbanites have to deal with every day. We have seen the suburban future and it is covered with goose poop. Don’t trivialize the problem, dear reader. Would you want to step in the stuff on the way to the 18th hole?

This is the stuff out of a Stephen King novel. Some of us view geese as beautiful creatures brushing the water off of their wings, but not Abington Township’s park director.

“They’re horrible,” he told The Inquirer.

In Downingtown, they placed wooden crocodiles in their ponds and lakes, but the geese weren’t fooled. In Coatesville, they used wooden dogs. Rumor has it the wooden crocodiles in Downingtown ate some of the wooden dogs, but the geese just keep coming.

To put this in perspective, this is the worst problem they’ve faced since they were forced to pay the city wage tax when they worked in these parts. The director of Upper Dublin Township parks and recreation reminds us that the possibility of stepping in goose poop has terrorized suburban kids to the point where they are wearing boots rather than penny loafers. The preppy-shoe industry may be looking for a government bailout to avoid shutting down.

The Inky quotes someone from the Pennsylvania Game Commission that said the geese bombard their lawns and golf courses with about 115,000 pounds of droppings every day. I would be interested in finding out how they came up with that number. Is there someone who goes around measuring daily goose poop? If so, I suggest Gov. Corbett look no further in his quest to cut government jobs.

There is always another side to the story and, in its effort to be fair and balanced, The Inky found someone who actually doesn’t think that geese are that big a deal. Edita Birnkrant is the New York director of Friends of Animals (they had to go to New York to find a goose-friendly quote?). Birnkrant believes the problem is greatly overstated.

“I keep hearing, ‘Too many. There’s too many.’ But what model are we using to decide ‘too many’?” I suggest to Birnkrant

that the model being used might be the 115,000 pounds of goose poop falling on the suburbs on a daily basis. I presume if just a ton fell on Ms. Birnkrant, she might feel differently.

In this reporter’s never-ending quest to solve the goose problem, I personally went around and interviewed well-known experts from all over the world on how to solve the problem. Here are the results: Charlie Sheen: I just sent a flock of geese to fly over the homes of my CBS bosses and I am winning. Maybe it’s goose blood flowing through my veins?

Georges Perrier: I suggest the problem could be cured by serving the goose with a nice Beurre blanc sauce and a bottle of crisp white wine.

Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi: I am still in charge. Bomb the gooses or is it geeses?

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker: We in Wisconsin have taken the lead in eradicating the goose poop problem by not allowing them to collectively gather in public.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie: I’m the only one who will tell you the truth.

The geese are predatory teachers in disguise and I for one am not going to put up with any of their poop.

Gov. Tom Corbett: Silence ...

Edward G. Rendell: The Chinese wouldn’t put up with this poop. They’d be doing advanced trigonometry while hunting down these geese. The ducks tried messing with the Chinese and that’s how we wound up with Peking Duck.

Glenn Beck: There is a liberal conspiracy in this country, financed by George Soros, to poop all over this beloved nation.

I’ll just write that on a blackboard for emphasis and publish a ghost-written book about it and make a ton of money.

Philadelphia Daily News Editor Larry Platt: We’ll put the goose poop story on the front page. I’m just trying to figure out how to manage a tie-in with Hooters’ girls.

Mayor Michael Nutter: There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that our population in Philadelphia went up for the first time in 60 years because we included geese in the count.

Councilman-at-Large Frank Rizzo Jr.: I didn’t know they had geese in Aruba.

Perk Perkins (CEO of Orvis, a highend fishing and sporting goods chain): Does this mean I have to stop selling the knot belts and khaki slacks with pictures of geese all over them?

Cardinal Justin Rigali (Archbishop of Philadelphia): Goose poop? We should have such problems.

Charlie Manuel: Can the goose play second base?

Uncle Nunzi: My nephew, the big-shot columnist, he’s been full of goose poop and every other kind of poop for years. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

Questioning ‘Paul’

An Area-51 extraterrestrial escapee, Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) finds a safe haven with two comic book junkies in the self-titled flick “Paul.“

By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

A

t the end of “Paul,” after you’ve sat through every last queer-obsessed overtone, Jesus-bashing joke and geek-speak reference, you’ll probably have a lot of questions. Is this the gayest sci-fi comedy ever or the most homophobic? The most viciously anti-Christian or the most refreshingly forward-thinking?

The most informed about geek culture or the most stereotypically clueless? It’s doubtful that director Greg Mottola (“Superbad”) and writers/stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (“Hot Fuzz”) intended their collaboration to be any of these things, but what they certainly haven’t made is just another benign buddy flick.

Pegg and Frost play Graeme and Clive, BFFs and comic book nuts who schlep it all the way from London to San Diego for Comic-Con, then aim to hit America’s extraterrestrial hot spots. The unsure script works overtime to both insinuate and dispel a beyond-bromance bond, adding pet names, sausage symbolism and slurs from rural folk, who apparently define gays as traveling nerds with British accents. The discovery of Paul, a fugitive Area-51 alien voiced by Seth Rogen, unleashes the ageold anal probe punch lines, at which point it’s even harder to tell if the film is making fun or making light of equality issues.

While hiding Paul from secret agents, the guys run into Ruth (Kristen Wiig), a radical Christian who upon boarding their RV is literally cured of blindness, then zapped with knowledge that swiftly kills her faith. While it occasionally hits its mark, the movie all but burns bibles to score transgressive laughs, leaping over

the line between provocation and crudeness. (A saving grace is Ruth’s hilarious embrace of sin, which, in Wiig’s brilliant hands, involves some of the funniest comedic cursing in ages.)

Apart from Paul’s anti-E.T. attitude, the rest of the humor is dependent upon winkwink nods to everything from “Jaws” to “Aliens,” which are so obvious even the geeks may find them insulting.

So if “Paul” isn’t for geeks, who is it for? Liberals? No. Aliens? Perhaps. This movie isn’t left wing, it’s out of left field.

Paul R Two reels out of four Opens tomorrow in area theaters

Recommended Rental Meskada R Available Tuesday In this little-seen crime drama, a police detective’s investigation of a child’s murder leads him back to his shady hometown, where social tensions stir up even more trouble than the case itself. Nick Stahl, Kellan Lutz, Norman Reedus and Grace Gummer lead the cast of the film, which rights a lot of missteps with its close analysis of economic class.

Movies

Dodge those incoming sequels Spring Movie Preview:

By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

W

hile it’s certainly an improvement over winter’s annual junk pile (sorry, “Hall Pass”), the ever-growing gush of spring sequels is still reliably packed with cine-trash. These past three years alone have given us the likes of “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and everyone’s favorite mediocre movie to hate: “Sex and the City 2.” Spring 2011 promises lots of big-buget déjà vu, including “Kung Fu Panda 2,” “The Hangover Part II,” “Hoodwinked Too!” “Pirates of the Caribbean 4,” “Scream 4” and “XMen: First Class.” Though some, specifically the latter two, are hard to resist, many will surely follow the trend and prove disposable. Need ways to avoid the waste and break up the sequel cycle? Look no further than these nine alternatives:

Win Win The third feature from Tom McCarthy (America’s answer to Mike Leigh), “Win Win” further exhibits its maker’s deeply empathetic point of view and gentle balance of humor and drama. Set in his home state of New Jersey and broader in appeal than his previous efforts (“The Station Agent” and “The Visitor”), M c C a r t h y ’s latest is his most per-

sonal and most accessible movie yet. It’s about a small-time attorney and wrestling coach (Paul Giamatti) whose newfound star athlete brings life’s struggles into perspective. True to form, it’s touching, but far from sentimental. (April 1) Certified Copy Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami’s “Certified Copy” is a beautiful and enigmatic meditation on the nature of relationships, and a journey that sees two actors (Cannes Best Actress winner Juliette Binoche and opera singer William Shimell in his film debut) playing off each other in fascinating, almost improvisational, fashion. Are their characters really strangers to one another? Are they in fact married? The film shifts and evolves and leaves much to interpretation. It also leaves a lasting impression. (April 1)

Meek’s Cutoff Michelle Williams re-teams with her “Wendy and Lucy” director, Kelly Reichardt, for Reichardt’s third and most ambitious feature, a tale that’s set along Walter Black (Mel Gibson) becomes thoroughly depressed and communicates only through a puppet in “The Beaver.”

Beautiful Boy Speaking of controversy, “Beautiful Boy” takes a unique approach to the modern epidemic of mass shootings, focusing on the parents of a college-campus murderer misunderstood and hated by a nation. Maria Bello and Michael Sheen play mom and dad, who must grapple with both their son’s suicide and the guilt and heartache of being accused of raising a monster.

The provocative film is directed by Shawn Ku, a young talent who’s been making a name for himself on the festival circuit since 2004. “Beautiful Boy” could be his breakout. (May 20) The Tree Of Life Quite possibly the most anticipated film of 2011 among cinephiles, Terrence Malick’s epic, long-delayed fifth feature follows the life of a boy from the Midwest, and in doing so, explores the very essence of life itself. Shrouded in secrecy through its years of development, “The Tree of Life” only recently revealed it first trailer, which offers peeks of Malick’s characteristically stunning and sweeping visual style. The movie stars Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain as the boy’s 1950s-era parents, and Sean Penn as the grown version of the boy, struggling to find meaning in the modern world.

Hanna Director Joe Wright may have lost his way with his poor translation of “The Soloist,” but that’s no reason to discount the chops on display in his first two films, “Pride & Prejudice” and “Atonement.”

“Hanna,” an adventure thriller and Wright’s fourth feature, reunites him with two of his best camera subjects: The European countryside and “Atonement” star Saoirse Ronan.

Ronan plays the title character, a skilled assassin on the run.

The film features Eric Bana as Hanna’s father and Cate Blanchett as her key pursuer. (April 8)

The Beaver Mel Gibson’s despicable behavior will surely turn many people away from this oddball dramedy, but it may also be the anypress-is-good-press push the film needs to widen its interest and its audience.

In it, Gibson plays a toy company CEO who uses a beaver hand puppet as a means to reconnect with his family. Co-star Jodie Foster directs the film, which spent years in production standstill and might just be weird enough — and controversial enough — to work. (May 20)

, 2011

Heartbeats The much-lauded follow-up to his striking, if slightly pretentious, debut, “I Killed My Mother,” Xavier Dolan’s “Heartbeats” continues to showcase the 21-year-old French wunderkind’s uncommon skills for evoking international masters and blazing bold and personal trails. Centered on two

best friends (Monia Chokri and Dolan himself) pining for the same carved-byMichelangelo stud (Niels Schneider), the movie deals with loyalty, desire and heartbreak as it augments the resume of one of the most exciting young filmmakers in the world. (March 25)

the titular offshoot of the Oregon Trail.

Seemingly reminiscent of American classics like “Stagecoach,” “Days of Heaven” and “There Will Be Blood,” “Meek’s Cutoff,” about a family that must struggle to survive in the wilderness circa 1845, looks to boost the natural skills of a rising-star filmmaker who’s still just warming up.

The movie also stars Bruce Greenwood, Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan. (May 6)

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW I MARCH 17

Sucker Punch Aided by co-writer Steve Shibuya, fanboy favorite Zack Snyder (“300” and “Watchmen”) takes his first crack at original material with this butt-kicking female action fantasy. Set in the mind of a girl (Emily Browning) wrongfully trapped in a 1950s mental hospital, the effects-heavy flick blurs the line between dreams and reality while presumably pushing visual boundaries. The supporting cast includes Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone and Carla Gugino. (March 25)

Moviegoers sick of hearing about pirates and mutant superheros have no fear. The spring lineup includes several entertaining alternatives.

veryone has their favorite things about spring. Some like watching the flowers blossom while others enjoy the fresh air. Ann Kerrigan loves the fact that Vidalia onions are in season, so she can highlight this sweet vegetable in her Strawberry Spring Salad.

The resident of Southwest Philadelphia said the recipe is so popular that her friends and family members ask for it as soon as the warmer weather arrives. Kerrigan has included directions for making the dressing from scratch, but noted the easier option is purchasing a bottle of it. Now, all can enjoy the flavorful slices of spring. SPR

Ann’s Strawberry Spring Salad INGREDIENTS:

1 head of romaine, cut 1 pint of strawberries, sliced 1 Vidalia onion, sliced

DRESSING:

1/2 cup of mayonnaise 2 tablespoons of vinegar 1/3 cup of milk 1/3 cup of sugar 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds

DIRECTIONS:

Combine the romaine, strawberries and onions in

a large salad bowl and mix well with your hands.

To make the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, milk, sugar and poppy seeds in a mixing bowl. Pour the dressing in a jar and shake well. Add the dressing to the salad mixture and toss well.

The elegance at Opa is comparable to its traditional Greek dishes prepared with succulent ingredients and its one-of-a-kind presentation.

ery spoonful.

Our server helped us select a red wine from the mostly Greek wine list. He knew quite a lot about them and offered us a sip of a few before agreeing on a 2009 Porto Carras Limnio from Cotes de Meliton, Greece ($10). It was filled with fruit and I instantly knew it would pair well with the pastitsio ($12).

I have tried many versions of this Greek lasagna. More often than not, it was dreadful. Opa’s version hit the mark. It was prepared with homemade semolina pasta which was cut into thin penne-like pieces, layered with ground sirloin and topped with béchamel. Although I would have preferred the pastitsio made with minced lamb, the minced sirloin was just fine and nicely seasoned. It arrived in a small castiron pot so it remained piping hot until we

finished it.

Thirteenth Street off Sansom has become a dining destination for so many of us. Opa joins Sampan, Barbuzzo, Lolita, Bindi and Zavona where it is in good company.

Saganaki ($7), the famous Greek flaming-cheese dish, brought me back to the first time I tasted it while a student at UCLA. When classes ended, I flew to San Francisco and headed for the Minerva Café. The waiter brought a plate of cheese to our table, poured liquor on it, flambéed it and yelled “opa.” A group of men began a circle dance while tossing plates on the floor.

Although our waiter did not flambé the cheese, Sandy’s eyes widened as she sliced some and spread it on a triangle of warm pita bread. The kasseri, traditionally made in Greece with either sheep’s or goat’s milk, was seared and still warm when it arrived at the table. We polished it off.

The roasted beet salad ($9) was prepared with slices of red and golden beets, fragrant, slightly crisp fennel, bits of tangy goat cheese and spicy baby arugula tossed in a light vinaigrette redolent with lemon.

All it required was a shake of salt and pepper. Marrying fennel with beets and the other ingredients was a fine idea because of the contrasts of tastes and textures.

Greek meatballs are traditionally prepared with lamb, which is the meat of choice in Greece. I was surprised to see the keftedes ($11) were made with veal.

Five small meatballs arrived in a small, round cast iron pot. The veal was mixed with minced fresh herbs, but I found the meatballs too dry. Lamb would have been my choice although I adored the homemade chunky tomato sauce. I enjoyed ev-

everal weeks ago, my friend Eddie asked me if I had been to Opa, a Greek restaurant which opened on Sansom Street about six weeks ago. He enjoyed the food very much. I made a mental note and quickly forgot about it.

Opa is a charming space with a central bar, very soft lighting, comfortable tables, linen napkins, which I would use to wipe my best china and crystal, and a knowledgeable staff. A brick wall is painted white and reflects the instantly recognizable buildings of Greece.

My sister Sandy and I settled in, sipped drinks and discussed the menu.

“No octopus,” she declared.

Octopus is a cornerstone of Greek restaurants. Since I still believe Dmitri’s is the finest in town, I told her I had to try it. We decided on a sample of safe dishes from the mezedes and an entrée that Sandy never tasted, but I have.

Grilled octopus ($12) was a good-sized portion. It was braised for four hours, according to the menu description, then grilled. I would have liked a bit more char on the mollusk but it was tender and tasty.

A mound of chickpeas, cooked with spices and chili oil, was instantly devoured.

Sandy hesitated to try them.

“You love chickpeas,” I said. “What’s the matter?”

I then realized since they shared a plate with the octopus, she waffled a bit. Finally she took one on her fork, pronounced it delicious and helped me finish them.

As the calendar ofcially changes seasons Sunday, a celebration is in order. A Center City-based pastry chef offers up recipes for two palate-pleasing desserts.

By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist

■ Galani ■

Ingredients: 4-1/2 cups of whole milk 1 cup of sugar 4 tablespoons of cornstarch 1 heaping tablespoon of unsweetened

Ingredients: 1/2 cup of flour 1/4 cup of sugar 2 tablespoons of butter, melted 2 eggs

Directions: Place flour and sugar on the counter.

Make a well in the center of the counter.

Add the melted butter and eggs and mix well with your hands. Slowly add the wine and knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Allow the dough to rest for one hour.

Heat the oil. Cut the dough in half and roll it paper thin. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares. Fry the squares until they pop and are golden brown. Drain them on paper towels. Repeat until all of the squares are fried.

Allow the squares to cool.

Makes about 24 squares.

Note from Phyllis: You can dust them with confectioners’ sugar or do what we did — dusted them with sifted cocoa powder and cinnamon. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/foodand-drink/features.

■ Budino ■

Note from Phyllis: We added a generous pour of Grand Marnier to the mixture.

1 cup of white wine Enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of a pot

, 2011

Directions: Place the milk in a 4-quart pot and simmer gently.

Combine the sugar, cornstarch and cocoa powder in a large bowl. Blend well.

Add the Nutella and egg yolks and whisk well.

Tamper the egg mixture with the hot milk by pouring it gently into the egg yolks mixture, whisking constantly so the eggs do not scramble. Whisk the mixture until smooth and place back into the pot.

Whisk on medium heat until the mixture thickens. Allow it to cool.

Pour the cooled mixture into 10 small ramekins. Place in the refrigerator to chill.

Serve with whipped cream.

Serves 10.

P

urim, also known as Jewish Mardi Gras, begins at sundown Saturday.

Although the festival is a minor one, it is a historical story about how the beautiful Queen Esther saved the Jewish people from the murderous wicked Haman.

In Italy, Jews make fried treats called castagnole. The dough is fried in hot oil and explodes like firecrackers.

Chef Andrea Luca Rossi, who is from Venice, told me during Lent, Italians make Galani, which are thin squares of sweet dough fried in oil.

I wanted to learn how to make it, as well as Budino, a Nutella pudding which is quickly becoming a popular dessert in Center City restaurants.

Pastry chef Kylie Fitzgibbons and Andrea arrived in my kitchen schlepping a big copper pot and the ingredients for these treats. She uses Andrea’s mother’s recipes.

“I just love food,” the vivacious 22 year-old Fitzgibbons, who is from Lancaster, said. “I graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in Orlando [Fla.] and loved the hands-on experience of pastry because it is so much fun.”

Kylie spent a year-and-a-half in the Sunshine State and finished her bachelors

degree online. Although she is making dolci for Andrea’s restaurant, Cichetteria 19 Bar & Restaurant on Rittenhouse, she also is the guest relations coordinator at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel on South Broad Street.

Kylie turned out to be a natural before the camera. Photographer Ilana Bagel and I helped her rehearse her introduction and she nailed it in one take.

Although Kylie specializes in desserts of all kinds, she also loves the delicious homemade meals she grew up on in Lancaster. She may live in Center City, but she remains close to her family.

“Every Wednesday night, my mother or uncles host a family dinner,” she said.

“They take turns and I often hop the train for home.”

Kylie showed me how to make the dough for the Galani and stir the big copper pudding pot for the Budino. I suggested we add some unsweetened cocoa powder to the mix. It worked as the pudding came out delicious.

T’is a fine thing, looking at this wee Colleen! Actually, this is Kathleen, a sweet, young (just over a year and a half old) pitbull mix who was found wandering the streets of Philadelphia. Kathleen is friendly with other dogs, seems okay with cats and would probably do well in a home with children.

Sure, if it’s pot o’ gold you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right place! You’ll be singing “I’ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen” once you meet this sweet lass!

Maureen Fiocca

Closing out the season The Neumann-Goretti girls’ basketball team closed out the 201011 season with an 11-13 overall mark and a 5-7 league record. Junior guard Maureen Fiocca (above) was one of three Saints to finish the year averaging nine points or more a game (9.1).

Without them there is no way I would have been selected.”

Markieff, a 6-foot-10 forward, led the conference in field goal percentage (59.8) and rebounding (8.3). Like their high school days, neither sibling is satisfied with simply making the dance. Their road to the Final Four opens tomorrow in Tulsa, Okla., against No. 16 Boston University (6:50 p.m. tip).

In the East Region, the No. 3 Syracuse Orange features Neumann-Goretti grads Rick Jackson, a 6-foot-9 senior forward, and Scoop Jardine, a 6-foot-2 junior guard, who both earned All-Big East recognition. Jackson, also the Big East Defensive Player of the Year, led the league

in rebounds (9.9) and blocked shots (2.8) while chipping in 12.8 points per contest.

Jardine’s six assists per contest was tops in the league. He also averaged 12.6 points per game.

The squad opens the tournament 9:57 p.m. tomorrow against No. 14 Indiana State. The winner advances to Sunday’s second-round tilt against the Washington/ Georgia winner.

The seventh-seeded Temple Owls with South Philadelphia High grad Ramone Moore, a 6-foot-4 junior guard, are in Tucson, Ariz., for this afternoon’s 2:10 tip against No. 10 Penn State. The game is being carried live on TNT. The victor advances to Saturday’s round of 32 to face the San Diego State/Northern Colorado winner.

The local athlete, an All-Atlantic 10 Second Team selection, is the Owls leading scorer with 14.9 points per game. SPR Contact Editor Bill Gelman at bgelman@southphillyreview.com or ext. 121. Comment at www. southphillyreview.com/sports/features.

rev #1:

he manrevwho #2: spent about three years in Egypt rev in two #3: Islamic unions with minors from Philadelphia and fathered publication: three of their children will spend spr the next eleanor eight yearssales andrep: one month behind bars.

Omar Rashaad Bey, of the 2000 block of South 20th Street, was sentenced March 10 after pleading guilty to three counts of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places Sept. 15, 2010, according to the U.S. District Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. He also must pay a $2,500 fine, remain on supervised release for 10 years after prison and register as a sex offender.

Bey faced up to 30 years in prison for each count, but sentencing guidelines placed him at an offense level of 30, which could have resulted in a 97- to 121-month jail sentence.

“The defendant’s actions over the course of several years robbed three United States citizen children of their childhood and altered the course of their lives forever,” according to the government’s sentencing memorandum.

The 33-year-old spent most of his time between 2004 and ’06 in Egypt where he entered into an Islamic union with a then14-year-old, who gave birth to two of his children: A son, age 4, and a daughter, age 2. Bey also had a sexual relationship with the girl’s older sister.

Bey entered into another Islamic relationship with a 15-year-old Philadelphia girl over the Internet in ’06 and arranged for her to travel to Egypt where he engaged in a sexual relationship with her. She later had his son, who is now 3.

“Unfortunately, his involvement in Islam and exposure to foreign cultures that condone conduct that is patently illegal in our society … appears to have led him down the road of moral relativism towards criminal conduct,” Bey’s lawyer Fortunato N. Perri Jr. said in the presentencing memorandum.

Bey has fathered 12 children from younger than a year to age 15 to eight different woman, yet Bey has taken responsibility for his children, according to his lawyer. His mother noted that more than half of the children gather at the family’s West Passyunk home each weekend.

“He is not a sexual predator who has traveled to another country for the sole purpose of indulging [his] desire to have sexual relations with minors,” Perri said.

“He is a good man who failed to see the error of his ways; errors that are absolutely apparent to him now.”

Parked and sliced Police are searching for the man who slashed the tires of a woman’s auto after a dispute in Whitman store’s parking lot.

In a surveillance video posted to the Philadelphia Police Department’s website last week, an unknown man and a woman argued about a parking space at Target, 1 Mifflin St., 5:58 p.m.

Jan. 22. After the woman successfully pulled in the spot, the man blocked her in and entered the store.

Leaving four minutes later, he hopped in his car, drove away and walked back to the woman’s car slashing all four of her tires at 6:05 p.m.

The man was described as white, 6-foot, 300 pounds and driving a red, compact, newer-model car.

To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013 or submit a tip at www.phillypolice.com.

‘For my kids’ A man told his victim that he was robbing him for a good cause — his children.

In South of South, an unknown man pointed a silver automatic gun at a 23-yearold’s side at 5:58 a.m. March 9 and said, “get down on the ground and give up the money,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Following the demand, he ordered him to get up and stand behind a parked vehicle on the 700 block of South 20th Street. “I need the money for my kids,” he said before the man threw his wallet containing $20, identification and credit cards toward him and fled to call police.

The offender was described as black with a dark complexion, age 20 to 30, 6 foot, 170 to 180 pounds, with a goatee and wearing a dark-colored hoody.

To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013 or submit a tip at www.phillypolice.com. SPR Contact Managing Editor Amanda L. Snyder at asnyder@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.
