"Only a handful of years in, Queen Village’s Hungry Pigeon already feels like such an integral part of the Philadelphia dining scene that it’s hard to recall a time when the all-day restaurant wasn’t here. Large-format dinner plates, like half of a smoked chicken, are worthy of an evening trip—but there's arguably no better time to linger than at brunch, when light streams in through the large front windows, and plates of heirloom apple Dutch babies and freshly-baked English muffins make the rounds. Make sure to hit the front counter's large pastry selection, too: You'll want to sample the work of executive pastry chef Pat O’Malley, who spent years turning out flaky goods at New York icon Balthazar ." - Devra Ferst
