    Ingrid Croce http://www.croces.com/ingrid/autobiography.shtml Autobiography Thyme In A Bottle Cookbook SD Restaurant Cookbook San Diego Restaurant Week Appearances Growing Up Media When I grew up in Philadelphia, people were as passionate about Sinatra and linguini as Photo Gallery they were about politics and religion. Our apartment, across from Rittenhouse Square, was near the Philadelphia Art Museum, the Liberty Bell, Theaters, Symphony, Restaurants, The Latin Casino, small folk clubs and Dick Clark’s American Bandstand. The excitement of the city, its people, food and music were my inspiration and motivation to pioneer the growth of San Diego’s downtown community—especially the Gaslamp Quarter. Starting when I was eight years old, I worked at my Grandmother Mary’s dress store in South Philadelphia. After school I helped the seamstresses sew and steam clothes, I sat by the cash register and watched my grandmother collect the money, and I happily assisted in the selection of the latest fashions on our buying trips to New York City. My mother Shirley, "The Magic Lady” played piano on her own local television show. In addition to being young, sexy and glamorous, she had this wonderful passion for cooking amazing meals and throwing spectacular parties at the drop of a hat. I learned to cook with her and started singing in local Ingrid & her twin sister Phyllis. clubs and on television by the time I was ten. My father, Sidney Jacobson was a general practitioner with his medical office in our home. By the age of fifteen I was employed as the “junior art therapist” assisting my dad at the University of Pennsylvania where he did his residency and began his psychiatric practice.

    Croce's Restaurant- San Diego http://www.croces.com/croces.shtml Location: Corner of Fifth & F, downtown San Diego Menus Priority Seating: (619)233-4355 News Hours: 5:30 pm to midnight Monday-Friday; 10:00 am to midnight on weekends. Cuisine: Contemporary American Group Sales/Catering Music: Live Music Nightly Music Schedule Get Connected The Heartbeat of the Gaslamp Quarter Contact Long before the sidewalks of the Gaslamp District teemed with tourists and Fan Mail restaurants huddled wall-to-wall along Fifth Avenue, there was Croce's Awards Restaurant. It occupied the corner of Fifth and F streets at a time when the term "scruffy" was a more apt description of the Gaslamp than "chic" or "fashionable" Employment or "must-do." Although it may seem implausible, Croce's was there when you could push the speed limit along Fifth Avenue on a Saturday night. Amazing. Before Ingrid Croce opened the restaurant in honor of her late husband, Jim, the same corner was home to her blintz-based establishment, Blinchiki's. When the ultra casual Blinchiki morphed into the stately Croce's, things changed. Croce's became a dining destination. Its kitchen attracted acclaimed chefs whose cooking helped create a strong local client base, and international visitors. Croce's was all about serving wonderful food. But music is in Ingrid Croce's soul, and it is hard to limit her to just one passion. So once Croce's was well established, Ingrid began an orderly march up Fifth Avenue. She took over the spot next door, and then the space next door to that.
