It is also the birthplace of another one of Philly's staples, the Original Chickie's & Pete's, brought to life in 1977 on the corner of Robbins & Frankford Avenues when Peter and Henrietta (Chickie) Ciarrocchi bought the taproom. Today it is home to the world famous Crabfries, dedicated sports fans and gloriously messy & bread dippin' good crabs.
