Where'd you watch the depressing-ass Eagles game yesterday? We took it in on the second floor of Delicatessen (703 Chestnut St.), which owner Michael Spector has decided to convert into your grandparents' living room. Spector, citing the universal appeal of "the Bubby factor," purchased a giant set of dated vintage couches, tables, cabinets and dining room chairs for a flat rate at a furniture auction in Jersey; fake plants, family photos, tchotkes aplenty and (this is the best touch) glass jars full of hard candy complete the look. No, there is no plastic on the cushions. Gram's parlor Delicatessen's second floor is open during the restaurant's regular hours for anyone who wants to take a load off and rock a bit of WiFi, but Spector's main aim is building it up as unique host venue for catered events, whether you're talking a football gathering, birthday party or family dinner. You don't even have to take your shoes off before you enter.
