10 Places To Eat Outside In Philly When It’s Cold & Rainy - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"The backyard of Little Nonna’s feels almost like a secret. From the outside, you would think you’re just passing by a bakery or small cafe, but that’s all just a front for what’s happening in the back—a big garden space with string lights hung up on the trellis that covers the whole heated patio. For an outdoor date in Midtown Village, you can’t do much better.

They sometimes run out of it before the night is over, so make a reservation here on the earlier side." - candis mclean
