Our 15 favorite places in Midtown Village - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Middle Child has the very casual vibe of a diner, but with a much more focused menu (no disrespect to diners–we love a 24-hour place with 300+ items on the menu). They make some great fluffy egg sandwiches for breakfast, and a few spectacular sandwiches for lunch–we’re partial to the Surfer, layered with house turkey, melty swiss, blueberry chutney, Duke’s mayo, and arugula on ciabatta. There’s only a couple tables inside, but it’s more fun to sit at the counter and watch the action anyway. It’s a popular spot for Jefferson doctors and students, so if you want to grab lunch without a wait, plan to arrive before the shift change." - candis mclean, alison kessler
