Dinner in Fishtown

Idamaes.jpg
Ida Mae's, which opened in March as a "bruncherie" at Tulip and Norris Streets in Fishtown, has added dinner Wednesdays through Sundays. For "Ida's at Night," chef-owner Mary Kate McCaughey puts out cloth napkins and candles. Let's give props here: The menu by chef Barbara Scott might be the most ambitious cooking in Fishtown since Les 'n' Doreen's Happy Tap changed the oil in the deep-fryer: There's a 10-ounce pork chop ($19.50), a grilled 12-ounce ribeye ($25), turkey and shittake mushroom meatloaf ($19.50) and "seafood coddle" ($23, shrimp, mussels, black cod and clams in broth with Irish bacon, leeks and potato). Utterly out of the way, romantic, and less than 15 minutes from Center City. See the website here.
