Brewery located along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway just steps away from our reception venue and hotel block
We love to sit in the park, especially for a morning coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Our favorite to-go breakfast spots in the area include Spread Bagelry [262 S 20th Street] and K'Far [110 S 19th Street] Typically there is a farmers' market each Saturday morning 9am-12pm
Famous indoor farmers' market offering diverse fare, housewares, & area specialties since 1892 A favorite place to grab a cold lemonade and bite after running the Schuylkill River Trail, Ben Franklin Bridge, or Art Museum steps
A trail along the river with options to walk, jog, rent bikes, or lounge in the grass. Surreys and bike rentals are available at Wheel Fun Rentals near Boathouse Row on the trail Bikes are also available through Philly's Indego bike share program at various stations throughout the city
1. Angelo's Pizzeria (9th/Fitzwater) - A new comer to the cheesesteak scene in Philadelphia, but with its location near the Italian Market, it's hard to beat! 2. Delassandro's Steaks (600 Wendover St.) - This is a long time favorite. A little bit outside of Center City but is a can't miss! This isn't too far of a detour if you want to go in between the ceremony and reception. 3. John's Roast Pork (14 Snyder Ave) - Deep in South Philadelphia, John's cheesesteak is even better than their namesake sandwich! Katie's Hot Take: Porco's Porchetteria (22nd/Washington) - Although not a cheesesteak place, it's Katie's favorite sandwich in the city. The Spicy Porker: fresh baked in house ciabatta rolls, herbed porchetta, fennel slaw, roasted long hot pepper relish, pork cracklings
A Mano (22nd/Fairmount) - Delicious b.y.o. Italian restaurant offering 3- and 4-course dinner options L'Anima (17th/Carpenter) - A great b.y.o. Italian restaurant nearby where Justin and Katie each lived when they first met. Try the gnocchi! Little Fish (6th/Fitzwater) - Small menu seafood restaurant. Chef Alexander Yoon’s menu is rooted in classical techniques and flavored with Asian influences. Another b.y.o! Monk's Cafe (16th/Spruce) - known for its mussels, French fries, and assortment of beer - Monk's is a great place to grab a bite in Center City Bing Bing Dim Sum (East Passayunk) - Katie and Justin's first date was in the East Passayunk neighborhood. Bing Bing is just one of the many great restaurants in this popular neighborhood! Wm. Mulherin’s Sons (Fishtown) - In the other growing culinary area, Mulherin's is a great place for upscale brick oven pizza and delicious small plates.
