Mercado Sánchez Pascuas
This excellent indoor market doesn’t have the overwhelming manic atmosphere of others in town, but its comedores are excellent and cheap. Plus it’s just out of the way enough to have a great local feel.

Trattoria Italiana
This dynamic new mother-daughter operation has just a few cloth-covered tables, and no written menu – they recite (in English, Spanish or Italian) what’s available based on what was fresh at the market that day.

Hyman's
Yeah, it's a tourist trap, but the famous she-crab soup, po'boy sandwiches and crispy flounder at this massive downtown institution are worth the wait, especially at lunch when the lines are not quite so long.

Sweetgrass Aboriginal Bistro
Usually, you would have to travel to a distant reservation to sample bannock, corn soup or elk. This unique aboriginal kitchen will save you that grueling $200 train ride, so why not leave an extra-big tip.

Gusto
Go for the Gusto and enjoy a hearty Italian meal between trickling fountains and a cavernous wine cellar. The effervescent ambience falls somewhere between 'modern trattoria' and 'medieval Tuscan villa.'

Giorgio's Cucina
The best place in town for Italian has creative specials. The semi-open kitchen flames things up and the steaks are prime. Portions are mother lode size – make certain your room has a fridge.

Red Eye Grill
A grungy bar in the Warehouse District for those 21 years and up, the Red Eye is strictly for greasy burgers and fries. It’s convenient if you’re seeing a show at one of the nearby clubs.

Pat's King of Steaks
The Pat's King of Steaks is a classic Philly, which is frequented by tourists and inebriated patrons, possibly unaware of the level of grease they're ingesting, as diehard locals.

Beckett's Irish Pub
The cozy but spacious and beautifully restored French-provincial building that houses Beckett's puts it way above your average fake-Irish pub. It serves hearty Irish meals and a decent Guinness.
