This is our favorite restaurant in Philly. It can be hard to get a table so make a reservation ASAP. Another alternative is to arrive at 4:30pm (restaurant opens at 5pm) to reserve a walk-in seat(s) at the bar with the host/ess.

Wawa
2000 Hamilton StAnother Philly staple: great for ordering sandwiches to go
Everyone in philly has their fave cheesesteak place, and this is one of ours. If you love chicken-cheesesteaks in particular, then this is hands-down the best place. The grape/lemonade fusion drink is also a must. It's also not uncommon to run into Philly celebs (ie. QuestLove and Allen Iverson) if you dine at the counter.

The Dolphin Tavern
1539 S Broad StThis is a speakeasy style of bar, and therefore it can be very exclusive (they do not allow sneakers). There is usually a line for entry, however, the drinks are fantastic. Cash only, though they can direct you to an ATM across the street. This is a good spot after a grabbing dinner in Chinatown.
