The Best Diners In Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Fishtown Diner is at the bottom of a nondescript, gray apartment building. But the inside is bright with yellow and blue seating, specials written in neon, and an Eagles and Phillies mural with a massive Gritty featured in the middle, like the lead singer of a very weird band. On the weekends, it’s open for 24 hours. You’ll run into everyone from partygoers hoping an order of fluffy banana stuffed french toast can stave off their hangover (it can’t), friends coming from Les and Doreen’s (post-LITs), and construction crews going back to I-95 to do whatever they’ve been doing there for the last five years. Although the breakfast menu is consistently good, sandwiches like the tuna melt and gigantic roast beef shouldn’t be missed." - candis mclean
