Excellent ultra-micro brewery! Beers crafted here in their self described "garage brewery" are unique and worth an afternoon trip. They don't have a kitchen but usually a food truck posts up outside in the evenings and afternoons.

Outstanding locally roasted coffee made here in Philadelphia. All of the locations throughout the city are great but this one is in perfect proximity to our house and is a perfect spot for breakfast/ lunch/ coffee and people watching while at the Singing Fountain.

Great spot for breakfast/ brunch, excellent and super filling traditional 'stick to your ribs' breakfast. BYOB. Seating is tight so call ahead or be prepared for a few minute wait (but they'll let you crack your BYO drinks waiting on the sidewalk).

I almost don't want to tell you about this; the best place to get traditional dim-sum in Philadelphia. A little bit of a wait on weekends and they recently got a liquor license, so no longer a BYO. Highly recommended, order the steamed soup dumplings, scallion pancake, veggie dumplings, and pork with sauce noodle (yes you read that right). Tons of seating and reservations available.

Imagine being transported to a French Brasserie, only to realize that you're just looking at Rittenhouse Square. Great people watching and excellent food, great for families and groups but equally romantic for a date night. Don't sleep on the bread basket and desert.

Great local spot for some quick and easy Tex-Mex food and totally serviceable margaritas. They have a great outside space and use the whole thing in the warmer months. Waits can be kind of long, especially on weekend nights, but its a great atmosphere and only 3 blocks from the house!

Excellent & unique flavors of ice cream. Our favorite is the tarot but check out the flavors of the day. Lines can get long, especially in the summer, but its a great post-dinner, pre-stroll home snack.
