In this completely renovated space located on Sansom Street between 15th and 16th streets, Harp & Crown brings together old-world touches with a stunning modern menu. A spot that makes you feel like you've stepped outside of the city and into a countryside home filled with delightful greenery everywhere."
"For dinner and drinks, dine under glam chandeliers towering from 24-foot ceilings at Harp & Crown. Kick off the evening fused with cachaca, fig, lime, and thyme from their Elfreth's Garden cocktail, and order an array of dishes served to share. My favorites include truffle pizza, Berkshire pork belly, and "Rooster's Comb mac & cheese"."

"Upon ordering an entree at Barclay Prime, you'll be asked to select your own knife, and that's when you'll know: this restaurant is serious about steak. Set in a 1920s-era luxury hotel, this renowned steakhouse boasts eye-catching retro chic decor, superb service and, of course, some of Philadelphia's most phenomenal steaks. Start with the famous Kobe beef sliders before savoring a perfectly succulent New York strip or bone-in filet paired with decadent truffled whipped potatoes."

"RittenhouseWith a coveted spot overlooking Rittenhouse Square Park, Devon is a staple of not only seafood in Philly, but in the general upper-crust dining world. Devon is a true believer in the art of the fresh catch, so trust you will have some of the best-sourced seafood dishes in town. This is even better when paired with steak for a little surf n’ turf action, or you can try the mixed shellfish boil kit at home and feed up to six."
"225 S 18th St Devon has a pretty extensive menu of both seafood and drinks with some great surf-and-turf options. Some of the options are a little funkier, like the lemongrass shrimp tacos you never knew you needed. And forget about salads with nothing but lettuce and some sad dressing, because their lobster cobb salad and salmon Panzanella are the real deal."
"Committed to serving the freshest fish, Devon does not disappoint. The upscale yet casual atmosphere of this restaurant makes it a nice place for a family diner or a date. On the menu, they have quality meals like shellfish cioppino, maple plank roasted salmon, lemon shrimp campanelle, and of course surf and turf."
"Estia is a stylish Greek eatery with a homey ambiance that serves authentic Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. One of three locations, the family-friendly restaurant features a deep blue ceiling, antiqued stucco whitewashed walls, hand-chiseled limestone floors, hand-woven rugs, rustic farm tables, dark wood chairs, and upholstered banquettes for intimate dining. An indoor courtyard with a living olive tree is perfect for romantic alfresco dining in the summer, where guests can tuck into authentic Greek fare such as grilled calamari or octopus, fresh salads and mezze like hummus and tzatziki, and fresh Mediterranean fish."
"Avenue of the ArtsThe upscale Center City favorite is now offering takeout and some outdoor dining as the pandemic rages on. All the high-end favorites, from lobster linguini to African prawns, is available for reserved outdoor dining, but you can also recreate the magic from the safety of your home with a near-identical menu available for take-out. You can also enjoy Estia’s notable wine list with selections available for curb-side pickup with some family-style dinner helpings."
"It’s hard not to fall in love with the elegant dining room at Estia. Here, style and elegance are key, and so is luxury; they fly fish fresh in straight from the Mediterranean. This is the kind of place you take someone you’re looking to truly impress."
"Where else in the city can you find a park-like setting combined with an upscale eating experience that feels as romantic as if you'd driven miles away?. Valley Green Inn offers inside dining as well as seating on their large porch for an experience that fits all kinds of people's expectations. Menu options such as cornmeal coated catfish, meatloaf Napoleon, filet mignon Moelle, vegetarian saute and duck two ways, give any hungry visitor an array of options."

"The Museum of the American Revolution is one of the best historical museums in Philadelphia and a must-see if you’re curious about the American Revolution. Philadelphia was the epicenter of the revolution and the museum does a tremendous job walking visitors through the build up to conflict, armed resistance, Declaration of Independence and the years of war. The museum does a great job of exhibiting the American Revolution through the eyes of more than just the Founding Fathers and white male citizens."
"The Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia opened to the public in April 2017, on the anniversary of the first battle of the revolution. The Museum of the American Revolution tells the story of the revolution through art, manuscripts and printed works from the 17th century."
