Robb's guide to Brewerytown and beyond
Arts & Culture
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is more than just a landmark. It houses an impressive collection of Art ranging from ancient to modern, and including a Japanese tea garden with tea houses, and a replica of a European monastery courtyard with a peaceful fountain in the center
Awesome collection. Impossible to take in all of it in one visit

Truly spectacular collection of modern art. A private collection essentially stolen by the city so that its citizens and the rest of the world could enjoy. But at least the museum recreates the interior dimensions of the home of Mr. Barnes, and precisely how he had it arranged, down to fractions of an inch. Last of the 3 Art museums on the Parkway as you head into center city from the apartment

Food scene
Ethiopian bar/restaurant with delicious vegetarian and meat options, including lamb. Casual indoor or outdoor dining with privacy barriers built outside for pandemic dining. Solid selection of beers with some of the best prices in the city Offer an obvious solution to the scorching Ethiopian heat  you can expect (or opt out of) with most dishes

One of the best burgers you can find in the city, and it is right across the street! This place started as a food cart and has now even won awards for its cheesesteaks—also some of the best in the city…

Hard to mess because it’s right downstairs, but in case you didn’t know, this place has amazing gourmet sandwiches and a ridiculous selection of takeout beer to put the icing on any travelers cake. It also has a rotating tap list that they will offer to serve in plastic cups if you want to enjoy it outside on the Avenue

Legendary brunch spot, and a favorite for locals and tourists alike. If you go at a popular brunch time (ie– Sat/Sun late AM) be prepared to wait in line unless you get there closer to breakfast time! It is right around the corner, and is the closest restaurant to the apartment. Also a worthy consideration for takeout. Just be prepared for enormous portions!
