"Stop: 2nd Street Station (Market-Frankford Line) During the summer, or on a day when the temperature isn’t lower than your dog’s age, walking is necessary for your general wellbeing. But during the winter, walking is the enemy. Continental, a diner and martini bar in Old City, is so close to the 2nd Street station that a child could hit it with a snowball, and it’s perfect for a fun, casual dinner with a few friends. Get a few orders of shoestring fries and a skillet cookie, and thank the powers that be that you don’t live in Alaska or Greenland." - Sydney Mcelwee
