neither distrito nor table 31 had good enough food to justify the prices they charged. the general consensus about distrito is that it's nice to have around as a symbol of gentrification in west philly, but that none of us would go there would a meal again. maybe for their margaritas, which were admittedly yummy, but $8 for two miniscule carnitas tacos, not so much. table 31 had their prix fixe restaurant week menu, which was decent i suppose, but unimpressive enough that i wouldn't go back for anything more expensive. the only truly memorable part of the meal was the little mound of peanut ganache that came on top of my "pbj" (a raspberry-peanut butter bar), which was highly reminiscent of the hua sheng hu in the dessert shop i like on purvis street. i think i'm getting to the point where i'd rather go back to places i know i like rather than potentially blow the scarce money i have on things that may be terrible; i know that salento and friday saturday sunday make me quite happy, and i don't go to nice restaurants often enough to soften the blow of having a bad meal.
