We've all been there: We've made meal plans with friends, but more time going back and forth between "You pick the restaurant!" "No, you decide!" than actually sitting down to enjoy the meal. Next time you find yourself in a bind, just take this quiz. It will point you to a fresh restaurant review that's right for you.
I remember the first time I went to a Korean restaurant with my American friends. As we walked out of the restaurant, one of them asked: “So, was that legit Korean food?”
R&D opened this October, after being closed for two and a half months as it was being renovated in the back right corner. The guitar, upright bass, saxophone, and drum set pulse out a melody that’s both sexy and soft, much like the interior of this newly opened bar. “Go to E–minor,” coos one of the musicians.
I used to train myself to see food as a composite of nutrition facts. I checked for added sugar, maximized protein and fiber, loaded up on vitamins, steered clear of chemicals I did not recognize. Food was numbers and data, nothing else. When mealtimes started to cause more anxiety than joy, I realized I needed to see food from a different angle.
This Dining Guide highlights the memories, stories, and connections we make with food. Our reviews emphasize the experience of dining out. We’ve profiled students and alumni who use food to jumpstart businesses and clubs. We tried your favorite cookie recipes. Some of us opened up about our relationships with food: the good, the bad, and the ugly. In this issue, food is the main character.
It’s 5:15 p.m. on a Wednesday, and Friday Saturday Sunday, Rittenhouse’s tucked–away gem of elevated American food, isn’t as crowded as you might expect. It’s one of the harder reservations to snag in Philly, and we’re here to see if the food is worth the wait.
When I visited In the Valley, I had to quickly dash inside to hide from the rainstorm outside. Yet, the calming ambiance of the bar immediately set the mood for a sophisticated culinary experience. The bistro–style string lights combined with steampunk lightbulb fixtures sets the vibe for this wine bar: eclectic, French–touched, with offerings that dredge up ingredients and palates previously unimagined or forgotten. This spot is the sister bar to Laurel, and is located next door on Passyunk and 11th.
As we exit the express elevator on the eleventh floor of the Cambria Hotel, my ears are bombarded with loud music. I look around and see a millennial’s dream—plants everywhere with huge windows and a fully stocked bar.
Whether you’re cramming for an upcoming midterm, in a bad mood, or running to class and in need of a portable breakfast, Street’s got you covered with the definitive Philly bagel roundup.
Modern — it’s easy to be wary of the term when used to describe a cuisine that’s often best enjoyed in its most traditional and home–cooked form. But Buk Chon Korean Cuisine doesn't lose sight of the rich flavors that characterize authentic Korean food. Instead, its contemporary approach is seen most clearly in its artful decor and beautiful presentation.
In the days before a gentrified Fishtown, when Old City was Center City’s furthest frontier, Ellen Yin opened Fork at 306 Market Street. It was 1997, and not many restaurants could be found between Broad Street and the waterfront. Yin’s goal was just to stay open for a year. Today, Fork is critically acclaimed, and Yin is the founder and co–owner of High Street Hospitality Group, which manages five successful restaurants.
Giuseppe & Sons finds its home on the bustling 15th block of Sansom, a fresh face on a street already packed with eatery icons. Harp & Crown, Ladder 15, Oyster House, and Ocean Prime are only a few of the new restaurant’s big–name neighbors. While the restaurant’s exterior is sleek and sultry, its location alone already begs the question: Who is this new kid on the block? And can it compete?
At five in the evening, cars cruise down Chestnut Street, tourists stroll around Center City, and locals make their way back home after work. Meanwhile, Helm Rittenhouse is just getting started for the night. The restaurant walls, decorated with portraits of Chance the Rapper and Kendrick Lamar, greet you upon entrance. String lights adorn the bar menu, and the seating area is incredibly intimate, with an array of tables facing large windows welcoming in the Philadelphia evening.
Scraps of trash bump and move across the pavement like tumbleweeds—past the barren tree, past the large cardboard box on the curb and two trash bags. Kensington is chilly—I hug myself as I walk—but inside the Over Easy Breakfast Club, my hands begin to warm up.
I skip meals sometimes. Eating doesn’t excite me, even though I used to relish meals as the highlights of my day. I remember breaking up the monotony of school–homework–sleep with mouthfuls of sweet and/or savory goodness. I miss looking forward to meals. I miss snacking.
It began on a windless but chilly Saturday morning on a block in Queen Village, sandwiched between a row of sex toy shops and pre–teens selling Girl Scout cookies. I heavily consider buying two boxes—one of Samoas and one of Tagalongs—but, ultimately, decide against it. After all, I didn’t come here to fuel my cookie addiction. I came here to eat donuts.
The first thing I notice before I enter nunu is its enticing red glow. It's a little overwhelming at first, but once my eyes adjust, I begin to notice the subtleties of this Fishtown restaurant–bar: the sea of Chinese lanterns hanging above the bar, the neon sign alternatively flashing as a rooster and a hen fixed toward the back, and the variety of seat choices crowded into the small space. There are large curved booths, dining nooks fit for only two, and individual stools by the bar.
