Distilling information, so you can get buzzed off it: The
Toilet Paper, a daily email newsletter dishing a humorous
burst of beyond-the-headlines news. Each day serves up a
full round of water-cooler-ready info on a single subject,
like the history of the Second City Comedy Club, the
insufferable love affair between hipsters and PBR, and the
return of Pee Wee Herman, just hopefully not to the third
row of finer movie theaters. Check out today's blast and

Maru
Far East cuisine in Old City

206 Market St; Old City; 215.351.0700

It always pays to be thorough, as George Thorogood would
tell you, although that has nothing to do with his name --
he just likes bourbon, Scotch, and beer all at once. For a
healthily thorough selection of Far East specialties, hit Maru.

The owner of the Comcast Center's Tokyo Sushi is expanding
his horizons with Maru, an 80-seat BYO meaning
"completeness" in Japanese serving everything from Korean
delicacies to traditional Japanese dishes in the former
Anjou, replacing the main floor's booze bar with a sushi
iteration, and installing several waterfalls throughout the
lower-level Fountain Lounge, where you should beware of
tumbling cascades of change. Non-sushi fare runs the gamut
from Japanese offerings like wasabi wings, skewers of
breaded pork & scallops known as Kushi Katsu, and Negi Maki,
which consists of green onions wrapped in a rib-eye, to
Korean dishes from chicken, pork, or beef Bul-go-ki, to an
appetizer of pancakes w/ seafood & scallions called Pa Jon
-- ask him if Lil' is his son, and he'll gladly tell you
"YAAAAY-YAH!". On the sushi front, "Basic Rolls" comprise
standards alongside more unique options like
crab/cucumber/shiitake Futo Maki and the Negi Toro w/
scallion; the still-evolving special menu offers a
California roll combined w/ crunch tuna & eel topped w/
marinated smelt roe called the Hong Kong Dragon, and the
Marble, made with yellowtail, salmon & avocado wrapped in
"special seaweed"; while 20+ a la carte sashimi options
include shrimp, octopus, striped bass, and fluke, which is
exactly how you dismiss the Yankees' World Series win when
you're bored of the whole payroll argument.

Maru's also renting out the downstairs Fountain Lounge for
private parties up to 50, complete w/ a dedicated chef at
the private sushi bar, 'cause sometimes when you roll alone,
you prefer to be by yourself.
