18 Places For A Big Group Meal Outside In Philly

"Cheu has a massive outdoor alley space that feels like you’re eating in a secret passageway (one that has lots of neon red). It’s a large shared space with metal tables, hanging lanterns, and space heaters for the colder months. On the menu, you’ll find Japanese small plates like pork and chive dumplings and cheesy squash rangoon, but the savory brisket ramen is what you should go for, regardless if it’s chilly or hot out. While you can’t really share a soup, everybody at your table should get it and call it a day since it’s the best thing here. Pair it with a bottle of shochu and you’re well on your way to a fun night in Fishtown. " - candis mclean
