Categories:
Desserts,
American (New),
Fondue
Neighbourhood: Market East
My last experience with the M.P. was in college. It was great fun at the time but that was five years ago and my palate has matured to bigger, better, less chain-oriented cuisines... or so I thought. For whatever reason, my sister was hell-bent on…More »
2. Vintage Wine Bar
Philadelphia, PA 19176
(215) 922-3095
Vintage has been on my to-try list for a while, and last night I finally got to check it out. The wine selections were great~ I saw a couple of my favs featured which was cool, as well as some others that were unfamiliar and interesting. There were…More »
3. Talula's Garden
Philadelphia, PA 19106
(215) 592-7787
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Washington Square West, Market East
Walking through the garden on a hot and humid Friday night, I was relieved to be sitting inside. But only because of the weather. The garden itself is a wonderland of flora, lights and the sounds of trickling water. Truly magical.
Inside, the decor…More »
4. Tria
Philadelphia, PA 19107

Categories:
American (New),
Wine Bars
Neighbourhood: Washington Square West
After closing down a nearby restaurant, it was decided that Tria was the closest spot for a drink in a quiet atmosphere. At around midnight, the bar was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday and there were only a few tables still occupied. I loved the…More »
5. Tria
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 972-8742
While the Midtown Tria has always been my favorite, Rittenhouse Tria has really started to grow on me as of late. The walking proximity to my guy's place makes it the obvious choice when we want a nice glass of wine and a little bite.
The big…More »
6. Tria Wine Room
Philadelphia, PA 19104
(215) 222-2422
Category:
Wine Bars
Neighbourhood: University City
A very hectic day came to a slow and peaceful halt the moment I walked through Biba's doors on Saturday evening. We went with the intention of learning something during Drink. Think. but ended up staying for dinner and several more glasses of…More »
7. Sycamore
In what seems like months ago, Blake F., Caroline P. and I made plans to dine at Sycamore. Our wait was finally over on a blustery Wednesday night, when we descended upon Lansdowne. The restaurant was full but for one table when we arrived around…More »
8. Swift Half - CLOSED
Philadelphia, PA 19123
(215) 923-4600
Category:
Gastropubs
Neighbourhood: Northern Liberties
Until last Wednesday evening, I had never been to Swift Half, let alone the Piazza, despite being a Good Dog fanatic. The bar was quiet, with only the booths occupied when I arrived. I selected a high top near the jukebox and surveyed the…More »
9. DiBruno Bros.
It's a good thing I don't work in the Comcast Center. I'd probably spend all my money at DiBruno and eat cheese and bread for lunch every day, rendering me into one of those people who wears the matching separates that barely pass as acceptable…More »
10. Garces Trading Company
Philadelphia, PA 19107
(215) 574-1099
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Modern European,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Washington Square West
I'm a little wishy washy about my feelings towards Garces Trading Company. On my first visit, I was with my mom and our cousin and we ordered a cheese plate to enjoy with a bottle of wine we purchased there. The entire time, we felt pressured to…More »

American (New)
Neighbourhood: Marina/Cow Hollow
My friend and I went to Jovino's monthly wine event, which we heard about from a friend who lives in the area. $25 at the door gets you a three hour open bar with three different varieties of wine by the same producer. We arrived shortly after the…More »

Neighbourhood: Olde City
Several weeks before Thanksgiving, I took to Twitter to find out which local businesses were taking orders for pecan pies. I received several recommendations, but Wedge & Fig stuck out since I had been wanting to get back in the wake of an awesome…More »
13. La Birreria @ Eataly
New York, NY 10010
(212) 937-8910
Categories:
Beer, Wine & Spirits,
Bars
Neighbourhood: Flatiron
Birreria gets three stars instead of four solely because of the service (i.e., the lack of) on the day of my visit. We ascended to Birreria from the depths of the overcrowded hell that was Eataly during the holiday season. Surprisingly, the masses…More »
14. Eataly
I absolutely hate crowds and the claustrophobic feelings that I associate with them, and the moment I walked into Eataly I was ready to turn around (although the line of people just waiting to get out of the store would have prevented me from doing…More »

Neighbourhoods: Fairmount, Art Museum District
My visit to Lemon Hill started off at their media night party, but after having such a good time chatting with the staff and enjoying a few cocktails, a few of us decided to get a table when the party ended and the restaurant opened to the public for…More »
16. Chick's Social Kitchen & Bar
Philadelphia, PA 19147
(215) 625-3700
Chick's is our date night closer bar, and I absolutely love it.
We usually swing by on Thursdays when Jesse is working (but we've experienced great cocktails under the care of George as well). Just one drink always turns into several, and how could…More »
17. Barbuzzo
Philadelphia, PA 19107
(215) 546-9300
Category:
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: Market East, Avenue of the Arts South
I'm not really a prophet of Restaurant Week or anything. I can take it or leave it. Mostly leave it, since I feel like I can have a better experience for the same price (sometimes less, sometimes more if we're all being honest here) any other night…More »

Categories:

American (New)
Neighbourhood: Rittenhouse Square
It's always a little awkward returning to a business after giving a not-so-stellar review. Fortunately, the staff at Rex 1516 were total class acts when I showed up for lunch today, welcoming me back and immediately apologizing for the previous…More »

19. Big John's Market
I see you, Big John.
We parked our bikes outside this grocery on our way to Wilson Winery's tasting room. The cheese selection is quite vast and we were able to quickly locate a delicious blue we had tried the day before (Saint Agur - ridiculously…More »
20. Mateo's Cocina Latina
Without fail, every time we told locals of Healdsburg that we had eaten at Mateo's Cocina Latina, they were genuinely interested in whether we had a positive experience. Everyone loves this guy Mateo! From what I hear, he's a stand-up character who…More »

What's not to like about this cute grocery? The slow pace of the employees and the length of time it took to check out, I guess. But other than that, this is a really nice store. It's like the DiBruno Bros. of Healdsburg. They boast a great cheese…More »
22. The Girl & The Fig
The Girl & The Fig has long been a place on my to-try list. I knew that one day when I made it out to wine county, I'd have a chance. Despite staying in Healdsburg, almost an hour away, we decided to make the trek on the last night of our trip in…More »
