Whiskey and burgers from the Spanish chef behind Amada and Tinto. High end pub grub and a booze and beer selection to explore for hours.
The hidden downstairs cocktail bar thing is a little passe these days, but Philly manages to keep even this unpretentious and fun. Tell them what you like & they'll make something wonderful.
Not just for brunch, but they do it extraordinarily well. It's a bit of a scene and given the crowd, I always expect the staff to be snotty, but I've never gotten anything less than stellar service.
Marc Vetri's affordable dinner spot. Love it. Took a break after stopping by on every trip. Time for a return visit. Be sure to sit at the kitchen counter to see the action.
The original Northern Liberties gastropub. Steampunk decor throughout a big old house. Multiple dining rooms. Great for brunch on the upstairs patio. Beer for days. Always an interesting menu.
I love hanging out here on a sunny weekend. They've tried a few Brooklyn-ish things from flea markets to a farmers market to concerts and events. Not sure what's stuck, but it's worth stopping by.
My current favorite meal in Philly. Israeli food, great wine and a gorgeous space - if way too dark.
One of my first favorite Philly spots. Hams hanging from the ceiling, the works. Music on the weekends.
Go early to avoid the tourist crowds. Pick up some spices or cool ingredients from the Amish folks. Great cookbook shop. DiNic's for roast pork.
Huge Fishtown beer garden with more space than a New Yorker can fathom. Indoor and outdoor space. Great beer and German food.
Comfy bar serving pub grub in the middle of the fancy clubs, restaurants and such of Rittenhouse/Downtown.
Haven't been in a couple years. It's a nice out of the way gastropub in Northern Liberties.
Tiny compared to Union Square or GAP, but a nice browse on a Saturday morning.
I totally love this building, no matter how many homeless people are sleeping in its crevices.
We got a good Hotwire deal to stay here once. Really nice old hotel. Even if you aren't staying there, go to the bar on the top floor. Swanky, with a great view.
I've been to Philly a dozen times and haven't stepped foot in here except to use the bathroom. Next time... maybe.
Amada's pricier sibling. Also great Spanish small plates, this time Pintxos. Foursquare says it's a breakfast spot, but I've only done dinner.
Hard to get to without a car, but they serve the definitive Roast Pork. Get with raab and sharp provolone if you can take the bitterness.
The addition of Eli Kulp has kicked the experience at Fork up to a whole new level, and the critics and crowd have responded with glowing reviews and word of mouth
While Garces isn't in the kitchen, much of the menu is still full of his spirit. Even though it opened in 2005, getting a reservation is still a challenge 7 years later. [Eater 38 Member]
Chef Gene Giuffi's pig talents are some of the best in Philly, and that's really saying something. Get the crispy chicken livers and short ribs, too. Leggi tutto.
Crispy skinned pig and doner kebab are crave-able and we can't get enough of the housemade brats and sausages. [Eater 38 Member] Leggi tutto.
Mike Solomonov's fried chicken and doughnuts have become legendary in very short order. [Eater 38 Member] Leggi tutto.
The best dishes are their softshell crab sandwich, duck salad, and the Standard Burger. All of the beers are draft only, and their Bloody Mary's are some of the best in town. [Eater 38 Member]
Aaron Gottesman turns out some of the most perfect fried chicken you'll find anywhere, one of our favorite salads around (the mustard greens), and cult-favorite oyster sliders. [Eater 38 Member] Leggi tutto.
