The Triangle

i would have the owners come up with another name as Yard House is a Federal Trademark. Yard House has over 20 restaurants in 10 states.

It is too bad that Ecco Qui has closed. As a faculty member this was a nice quiet place to talk with a small group. I am not sure that I'd want to take colleagues out to lunch at a "sports bar". Dumbing down strikes again.

"Dumbing down strikes again" What? As a professor at Drexel, how can you say that? Do you know why it was so quiet? Because no students wanted to go there. They all go off campus to hang out, mostly to Upenn's campus. To have a place for the students to go that is on campus is far more important, in my opinion, than for a nice cheap place for professors to go. If you need to have a meeting with colleagues, walk over to the Cira Centre and go to the restaurant there, or to the place across from 30th street. Why call it dumbing down because Drexel will finally, emphasis on finally, have a place for students to hang out. And no, Ross Commons doesn't cut it. Besides, there will be a new restaurant in the new athletics facility. Guess the professors here are just out of luck for the next year or so and might have to go *gasp* off campus.

But students are there for 5 years max. Profs are there for life.

While I agree that a single student is only on campus for five years and a single professor will be there for much longer, for the sake of arguement I think it's important to remember that there are way more students than professors. Therefore, I'm not surprised that a business owner would want to cater to a crowd which will make more money for him/her.

Also, while a single student may only be on campus for five years... that doesn't mean a new student will fill that place the following year.

oh please, if the faculty members want a place to eat, stick to your nice faculty dining hall, its about time something remotely fun came to this campus. UPenn dominates the "things to do" category with great franchise restaurants and bars and shopping. All we have is a bunch of grimey pizza shops, hopefully this will bring a bit of excitement to this campus.

Maybe students should explore Philadelphia outside of the immediate University City area. Just a thought...

They will serve American faire and maintain the pizza oven.

*American fare.

I hear the place is going to be great. Stopped by and saw it as well - Original Brick, 10 huge plasma tvs and a great menu, what could be better. I say support them so they stay and we have a place to call home. I cant wait! Welcome Mikey's !!
