"Wm. Mulherin’s Sons looks like a house in the Catskills that Martha Stewart owns. The part-boutique hotel, part-restaurant in Fishtown has big wooden tables and a fireplace in the middle of the dining room. They also have some great outdoor seating for groups, whether you're sitting on the sidewalk or in the garden that feels straight out of a scene from Downtown Abbey. On top of just looking really nice, the cocktails and Italian food are also excellent. There are lots of things to choose from, but what they do best are pastas like the braised beef cheek agnolotti and Neapolitan pizzas—especially the double margarita pizza topped with both mozzarella and burrata." - candis mclean, alison kessler
