Steak house · Washington Square West

"PHILADELPHIA To get to Alpen Rose, you’ll have to ring the bell the front door of this Philly steakhouse that’s sandwiched between two much flashier Center City restaurants. Once you’re in, you’ll almost immediately forget you're on one of the most chaotic strips in Philly. The narrow, dimly lit restaurant looks like it was decorated by a librarian who opened a speakeasy, complete with chandeliers, cushy brown leather booths, and shelves of vintage tomes. Twenty-somethings are cheers-ing their fragrant, floral cocktails, couples are splitting bone marrow toast, and not a soul is worrying about whatever is happening outside the four walls of the restaurant." - anne cruz
