There are 3 resturants within walking distance (a block or two) from the Tower. The first is the Aquairius Diner on Market street across from the train terminal. then there is Sabor Latino located on Garret Road, it is a Mexican, Cuban, Equidor style resturant,also right across from the terninal. Then there is The Waterford, this is located right next to Tower on Ludlow street, it’s a Bar & Resturant, not a bad place to go before a show and have a drink and get a bite to eat, I highly reccomend it. All these places are within a SAFE distance of the theater. If you are not sure about the area you can always ask someone in the Tower box office if it is open when you get there.
As for fast food near the theater. There are a few places on 69th street to eat. There is a McDonalds, Wendy’s, Popeys, Quizno’s and a few good pizza/cheesesteak places. all right on 69th street and within quick safe walking distance of the theater.
As for the Pit area. It is located front and center by the stage. There are usualy chairs set up for a show.
I currently work at the Tower Theater and have been helping in the on going process of doing restoration of the building. It is exciting to see a theater this old getting new a life. I saw my first concert there and find it to be an excelent place to see a show. The place is not dirty. It does have a bar that serves alcohol, soft drinks and snacks. Easy access to downtown Philadelphia via the train just one block away. And there are places to eat with in walking distance of the theater. And for thoes who are telling people to boycot the theater because it is connected to Clear Chanel, I would like to see you put up the money to keep this building going. At least they are giving at a second chance. If you have any questions about the theater, feel free to contact me.
For the few people who have been asking…
