  1. Continental

    A stylized old-fashioned diner, the specialties here are hip crowds, eclectic tapas and specialty martinis - as indicated by the huge speared martini olives that hang from the ceiling.

  2. Cresheim Cottage

    The Cottage is a local-sustainable adherent, and you can tell by the freshness of the delicious dishes, like seafood stew and the unique chicken meatloaf muffin for dinner, and the buttermilk pancakes and 'green eggs and ham' (poached, with basil-hollandaise sauce and cheese grits).

  3. Derek's

    Main St is a bustling restaurant row and Derek's takes pride of place, cooking up quality seasonal dishes, with the three-course lunch or dinner a tasty budget option. Arrive a little early for one of Philadelphia's best cocktails or if you like your Sunday's very laidback drop by as the entire wine list is half-price.

  4. Farmicia

    Dedicated to simply crafted, local and organic foods, the meals at this BYOB spot - including an organic Angus burger with caramelized onions, and Alaskan salmon with roasted beets and lentils - are creative and soul satisfying. Vegetarians are well-cared-for, with a variety of tofu, pasta and veggie-and-grain plates to choose from. Weekend brunch rocks, too.

  5. Pat's King of Steaks

    Philadelphia's finest contribution to fastfood is the legendary Cheese Steak, a greasy treat of grilled steak and cheese all packed into a long roll. Two of Philly's most popular and legendary cheesesteak places, Pat's and Geno's both open 24 hours, are across the street from each other. Roll into one of them after a few beers and you'll be in heaven.

  7. Trolley Car Diner

    Housed in a classic deco diner - moved here from its former site in Wilkes Barr, PA, with much fanfare in 2000 - this old-fashioned, family-style diner serves all the comfort foods you'd ever want: club sandwiches, patty melts, fried shrimp, salads and a homemade, white-bean 'peanutbutter' sandwich.
