No it's a different place, but I do know Alyans, it's down the street from that Irish pub and the food is AWESOME - The girl who took our order was really nice but my Dad goes, yup she's totally Palestinian - I said what do you mean? He said it's taken 40 minutes to get food and she's off in her own world wondering around the place like she's not even at work (hehe - Keep in mind father is Pali so it wasn't an insult lol ) But that was a few years ago that I was last in there - The place I am talking about I found when my step father was in the hospital at U of Penn - I got tired of University City and went over the bridge looking around South Street, parked down by the Marina and walked around.. There's also a really great pizza place.. I think it's Anthony's? I'm not sure but the pizza is SOOO Big a large comes in two boxes and people were just lined up out the door to get it- I think they stay open until 3am or something ... I'm going to try to get the name of the Tunisian place I'm talking about for you

You are right though - I have a lot of Palestinian cousins and friends here who are really close friends with lots of Israelis and there are never problems between them.. Doesn't make sense to me either

But I do wish it was a happier better world..

I don't know.. The sign just says speak English when ordering - which I guess would be a necessity but I do get that it's a little rude and off color - But then again most of Philly is rude and off color hehe Welcome to Philly hehe

And I agree with you Sandrilla there are so many places to eat that are better than Geno's but you do have to try at least one cheesesteak from there lol There's a really nice middle eastern place on South Street- The food is SO good and it's owned by a Tunisian - Food from all over MENA though - and somewhere around there is a coffee, the kind that you would find in Tunisia or Morocco with old men sitting out front smoking sheesha and playing rami - I'll have to find the addresses/names for you so that you'll have them when your sweetie gets here

Are you talking about Alyan's? Its owned by palestinians. If there is another place owned by Tunisians tell me what its called, Im there!

We are close friends with a few of the Alyan's. Its a shame we can be friends here, why cant we all get along over there... Sigh...
