A Mango Bush grows off South Street

Photo | Drew Lazor Looks like A Peace of Sole, on Fourth between South and Lombard (524 S. Fourth St.), is poised to be reborn as a Caribbean restaurant called Mango Bush. I think I've mentioned this before, but it's crazy how one can basically hit up all of Center City's irie eateries ï¿½ Jamaican Jerk Hut, Caribbean Delight, this place and the recently opened Blue Bananas Cafï¿½ ï¿½ by simply traveling west to east on South Street. More soon. Foobooz » Blog Archive » Quick Bites Posted 2009-03-12 10:00:21

In regards to the above comment,

The title Mango Bush actually has an in-depth meaning to it. The term "Mango Bush" is symbolic of a place in Jamaica where people go at any time of the day in order to fully satisfy their hunger. As you might no Jamaica is a poor but developing country where some people suffer on a day to day basis to merely live. On that note, the "Mango bush," as the Jamaicans would call it or "Mango tree" as you might prefer was a place where one would go to pick mangoes, without hesitation, because of their strong dependibility/reliability on the "Mango Bush" to satisfy their hunger.

(Just so you know in Jamaica the term "Bush" and "Tree" are interchangeable just as the Jamaicans call "cookies" "biscuits")



With all that being said "Mango BUsh" is worth a shot if you happen to be on South street and have a taste for some island  Caribbean cuisine.
