"South Street might be a little gritty, but step inside this modern American restaurant and you’ll quickly forget the seedy sidewalk you were just standing on. Everything about the chicly designed minimalist space is meant to direct your gaze towards the large, entirely open kitchen where James Beard Award winner Peter Serpico and his team prepare elegant dishes that change with the seasons: We've tasted Japanese eggplant with pistachio, feta, cucumber, and harissa; raw diver scallops with buttermilk poppy seeds, green yuzu kosho, white soy, and chives; and fried duck legs with burnt onion mole. As at all Stephen Starr-owned institutions, the service at Serpico is gracious, well-trained, and accommodating."
"One of the best romantic restaurants in Philadelphia, Serpico is a collaboration with James Beard Award-winner Peter Serpico. A cutting-edge take on American dining, this beautiful..."

"Since opening the doors to the original West Philly location in 1983, the White Dog Cafe has been an icon of the local food movement in Philadelphia. Founded by farm-to-table pioneer Judy Wicks (who sold the business in 2009 in such a way that it preserved the restaurant’s commitment to sustainability), White Dog was among the first restaurants to celebrate seasonal ingredients from the region’s farms. An unofficial hub for the college campuses of University City, it’s always attracted a diverse range of diners, from students to West Philly elders."
"White Dog Cafe is a lovely restaurant where you can have good food and drinks. Besides that, the interior of this place makes it one of the most Instagrammable places in Philly!. There are classic chairs, plants, a floor with a lovely pattern, and frames on the wall."

"Order: Fried chick’n and wafflesThese days, there’s a vegan version of almost everything. But it’s still impressive when a kitchen pulls off something like this vegan fried chicken and waffles. I mean, it has the same crunch as the real thing, the same mix of savory and sweet — topped with blueberry maple syrup and candied jalapeños for a little spike of sweet heat."
"The entire menu at this Northern Liberties bar can be made vegan, and that includes the chicken and waffles, wings, chicken parmesan, and bolognese.
