A Guide to Philly’s Essential Diners

"This hip breakfast and lunch spot is less a diner and more a diner-inspired cafe serving refined versions of classics like egg and cheese sandwiches, Italian hoagies, and grilled cheese with tomato soup. Plus, owner Matthew Cahn was so in love with Little Pete’s in Rittenhouse that when it closed he got his hands on a piece of the original floor. It hangs, framed, on the wall." - Olivia DiPasquale, Emily Teel
