That's a wrap  
by Andy Stettler Cabrini '09

If you have been to Philly, then you have most likely had a Philly cheese steak. But have you had a Philly wrap? The “Wrap Shack,” located at 120 South 18th St. in Rittenhouse Square is the holy grail of wrap eateries.

The Wrap Shack prepares over 40 different wraps. Chicken wraps like “The Scott Louis,” have juicy white meat chicken accented with crispy bacon, sautéed onions, mushrooms, garlic and cheese, all mixed together with your choice of BBQ sauce, buffalo sauce or both. It’s pretty much like a hardy, healthy stew minus the broth.

The Wrap Shack is more than just chicken wraps; steak wraps are a big seller as well as seafood wraps. Where else in the city can one find the delicacy that is the “Soft-Shell Crab” wrap or the “Shrimp Stir Fry” wrap?

The shack also sells a wide variety of vegetarian wraps. I tried the “Thai Peanut Popper,” consisting of tofu, broccoli, carrots, lettuce and the shack’s homemade Thai peanut sauce. For all of you meat eaters our there, this wrap will pull most carnivores to the other side.

If you are a breakfast lover like me, then you may want to check out the shacks breakfast wraps. Choices include egg and cheese and bacon or steak, egg and cheese.

What Drexel and UPenn students will like best about the Wrap Shack is that they deliver! Via CampusFoods.com, students can sign on and order using cash, credit or “campusfood cash.”

For the full experience I recommend dinning in. The shack is really no shack at all. Covered with beautiful wooden floors and outside dinning, the Wrap Shack rivals the atmosphere of a laid back Philly pub.

Because of the quick service I recommend the Wrap Shack if readers need an inexpensive bite to eat before taking your date out to the theatre or something of the sort. The atmosphere is perfect for dates, it is quiet enough to talk and the prices are incredibly reasonable.
