Excellent spot for a quick lunch. The So Long Sal sandwich is a must-have.
Montreal-style bagel spot that absolutely hits the mark. Multiple locations throughout the city.
Excellent lunch spot. Get the corn beef, but don't plan anything active afterwards.
Classic sit-down brunch/lunch overlooking Rittenhouse park (parc?).
Best scone you'll ever have hands down.
The flagship store for La Colombe. Highly recommend for coffee and pasteries.
If you find yourself in West Philadelphia, definitely grab coffee from this hole-in-the-wall spot that got Chris through most of undergrad and medical school.
Fun happy hour bar behind Sampan restaurant, which is also a great dinner spot.
Great new cocktail bar. The lamb-washed manhattan is weirdly good.
Indoor bar at the top of the Comcast building with great cocktails and better views.
Consistently rated one of the best beer bars in the NE. We still think about their chicken fingers.
Outdoor beer garden with plenty of space and activities. Great for bigger groups.
Incredible spot for Thai. Be sure to make reservations far in advance.
Fantastic pasta that typically has a bit of a wait. Smaller spot that's not great for large groups.
Great happy hour deal and situated on the same block as a few other bars and restaurants that are all favorites of ours.
Perfect spot for tapas and pitchers of sangria.
Quintessential philly dive bar that makes you ask "but why is the shot+beer combo cheaper than just a beer?"
Outdoor bar on the Delaware river that's a summertime favorite.
