Meal Ticket's picks for what to eat at XFINITY Live!
Last Friday, XFINITY Live!, Comcast's indoor/outdoor entertainment district on the site of the demolished Spectrum, cracked its first beers. The sprawling complex features five distinct eating/drinking venues, plus the Philly Marketplace, which features stands from Nick's Roast Beef and Chickie's & Pete's. The main concepts range in price point and casualness, from the HD orgy NBC Sports Arena to the classy Spectrum Grill. Here at Meal Ticket, the Victory Beer Hall (pictured) piques our interest most, with its 2000-square foot patio, fire pits and Bavarian pretzels, but in the interest of fairness, we've vetted each XFINITY Live! menu so you don't have to.
