Pretty short tour but well worth it if you're a fan of literature. The hours are a little goofy but if you get there around the right time, it's a good thing to do to kill an hour or so.

Probably the best restaurant on the east coast. Unique in its vegetable offerings, and the lamb shoulder is the stuff of dreams. Great to visit with a group.
Apps and entrees come out all at once so be ready with a group to dive in. Favorites included spicy duck salad, shrimp and lotus root salad, coconut crab curry and skirt steak. Decor is lovely, too.
Ordered many small things, didn’t have a main, everything was great. Waiter told us to skip the tartares so we did. The second ceviche and the sardine toast are standouts.
Absolutely loved this meal. Tasting menu was delightful and well portioned; a mix of items on and off the menu, beautiful ambiance, fantastic service
Loved the coconut shrimp tofu and the lemongrass tofu. Not a huge fan of the seafood fried rice or fried crab.
During the winter, you HAVE to get a hot milkshake. It is one of Philly’s best-kept dessert secrets and a totally different vibe than during tourist season.
If you’ve never been, grab a steak from Pat’s and one from Geno’s for a taste test. Spoiler alert: Pat’s wins. Bring cash. Order wit onions and whiz. Grab some of the hot peps by the ketchup 😉
You can't leave Philadelphia without deciding who makes the best cheesesteaks. Located across from Pat's King of Steaks, the two cheesesteak meccas have been competing for more than 40 years.
This place is legit! Forget Geno & Pat’s. This why you come to Philly and they cut your cheese steak in half.

Kebabs so tasty and salmon skin so crispy, come with at least 3 people so you can actually make a dent in the salatim and try multiple items off the grill!
I could bath in the hummus, fell in love with labne & falafel, their oil where they serve the juicy kefta & the mouth watering shish taouk in is out of this world & I could just keep going like that.
Momo Khotrak (pan fried dumplings), ThukNgo (stir fried vermicelli noodles in a sweet and sour sauce), and the Chili Chicken and Pingsha entrees made for an excellent first Tibetan food experience!
The scent of shashlik grilling over coals that hits you when you walk in is exciting and primal. Try lamb, one of their great soups, and dont miss the fantastic breads.
🐔 liver mousse, Smoked Herring Pasta, Sweetbread Katsu, & Artichokes are all A+. Excellent drinks bring it all together. Mains are serviceable to good but not the ⭐s of the menu. Load up on starters!
Fresh fried chicken livers and gizzards.. hard to come by these days, so, a bit of a treat.

Amazing location with a great view of Phillie’s skyline! 👌🏼 When you get there, you think there’s nothing but it’s worth following the “hidden-ish” path (which sure is a bit creepy but...) ... 😁
