"This beer garden on South Street is a vacant lot for most of the year, but during the summer, the Philadelphia Horticultural Society turns it into a full-on forest with big trees, wood-chip floors, a massive patio, and string lights. Go for any of their frozen drinks (we love the Strawberry Water Ice), a burger, or just have a few craft beers in this lush, kid- and pet-friendly garden." - candis mclean, alison kessler
