Great coffee shop just around the corner!

Awesome homemade pasta. Took my Italian father and grandparents here and they wholeheartedly approved! I swear it's as good as my Grandma's homecooking. Friendly staff. Small restaurant that may need a reservation, BYOB, cash only.

A 'natural foods' store from 1969, before organic was trendy and kale was considered edible. It's a great place to pick up staple fresh groceries, as well as niche limited diet and imported foods (they have some korean food and snacks here :] ) The dine in cafe is not open during covid times. However, it does still have a grab and go prepared foods section still.

I had my last birthday dinner here! :] A bit of a hike but so worth the trip. If it was closer id be there all the time. Also right next to a giant H-Mart / Paris Baguette if you need to stock up on home comfort snacks and such.

Beer Garden! With casual and warm vibes. They have plenty of self serve dining inside and an outdoor courtyard with fire pits and jenga games. German sausages, pretzels and such. A short walk away from Barcade (another favorite spot for good beer selection and games)

Right down the block from TLA! Can't miss it. My favorite Philly cheese steak place. No competition. Touristy long lines die off in after 4pm. Worth the wait imo.

Really popular, mainstay of Center City Philly. Vintage Paris bistro vibes. Really nice view right across from Rittenhouse Square Parc. Good for people watching. Food is always awesome and the pasteries are delicious!

I need to go here more :[ Super tasty~! Fun vibes! The area has lots of other great spots, including a gelato place close by! 'Bing Bing Dim Sum serves up Chinese plates with a Jewish-American twist. Enjoy inventive dishes and creative cocktails a this cozy, yet lively spot on East Passyunk Avenue. '

Great selection of draft craft beers, local, imported etc. Lots of arcade games of all types to play with friends.

Great pizza, pasta and other Italian dishes..and this is coming from a New York Italian :] Just a short walk from the TLA theater. Great outdoor dining space too!
