1. El Rey
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 563-3330
Exhausted and in search of additional sustenance, Mexican comfort food seemed to be calling after the epic dance party I had just been part of. Our group of three walked through El Rey's doors and were greeted with the overwhelming aroma of coffee;…More »
2. The Dandelion Pub
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 558-2500
Categories:
Gastropubs,
British
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
After hearing how gorgeous the new Dandelion Pub was from friends, I was extra stoked to have dinner plans there just a couple days after the opening. The space was indeed pretty, if a bit overkill in some of the kitsch, like the room with all the…More »
3. The Ranstead Room
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 563-3330
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
If excellent cocktails, toe-tapping tunes from the 50s and beautiful portraits of gorgeous, naked women are not things you enjoy, head elsewhere.
Otherwise, join me at one of the booths along the fabulous vintage red-and-black-velvet wallpaper, and…More »
4. Butcher and Singer
Philadelphia, PA 19102
(215) 732-4444
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Steakhouses
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
You cannot go wrong with Restaurant Week lunch at Butcher & Singer. I returned once again for the three course meal during week 2 of RW, and everything from the greeting at the front door to the water glasses that were constantly being refilled was…More »

Restaurant Week lunch at Butcher & Singer is pretty awesome. For a mere $20, even those with the… Read more »
5. Pod

Category:
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: University City
Oh hey, Review 300. How you doin'?
I was here last night with a group of five lovely ladies to celebrate the last "official" night of singledom for one of my girlfriends. You might know her, she's Philly yelper Jessica B.!
Jess and I go way back.…More »
6. The Continental
Out of all the Continental locations, this one is definitely my new fav. A little river separates the restaurant from the main walkway. There are mini bridges leading into the seating areas and a path leading to the interior of the restaurant. The…More »
7. El Vez
My friend and I had brunch at El Vez on Sunday. The prices on this menu are pretty reasonable, but after ordering one drink each (a bloody mary for my friend and a mimosa for me), plus an order of guac, things added up quickly.
The guacamole was…More »

I dig El Vez. Their guacamole is kick-ass and the blood orange margarita is as yummy as the… Read more »

American (New),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
In all honesty, I really do like Continental Midtown. There are just a few things about it that irk the nerves sometimes. Like the issues I have with their rooftop bar that I pointed out in my previous review.
The premise is slightly upscale…More »

9. Parc Restaurant, Bistro & Cafe

Categories:

American (New),
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Rittenhouse Square
A friend and I had plans to meet at Parc, and being the first to arrive, I decided that we would be dining al fresco under the heat lamps. It was a little bit chilly but the lamps provided enough warmth to keep me comfortable in my short sleeved…More »
10. Buddakan
Philadelphia, PA 19106
(215) 574-9440
Category:
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Olde City
Last night was my third time dining here, and probably my favorite. It happens to be Buddakan's tenth anniversary and in conjunction with that, proceeds from each check are being donated to Project H.O.M.E. all week. Reason enough to get out for…More »
11. Frankford Hall
If drinking delicious beer while seated at some outdoor picnic tables with a crew of buds sounds like a good time, you will like Frankford Hall. Throw in some (free) ping pong, a giant pretzel with nose-clearing hot mustard and cooperative weather,…More »
12. Pizzeria Stella
How have I neglected to write a Yelp review for Pizzeria Stella? It's the home to my favorite brick-oven style pizza in the city, after all.
There's the margherita, with a healthy amount of sauce and about one small circle of mozzarella and one leaf…More »
13. 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 »
