Rob McGowan: Bistro with a French flair & 70's vibe at The Inn at Penn in University City. Super happy hour and fancy cocktails from the folks who bring you White Dog Café.
Carlos R: had a great dinner with work colleagues, had a great time
j spin: Oysters Rockefeller were delicious. Sorry I didn’t take the picture before... but I was too busy eating them! Great spot for a drink and the hotel upstairs is perfect.

Café · Avenue of the Arts South · 8 tips and reviews
Lauren Mac: Beautifully decorated space, with solid cappuccinos. Check out the upper level too, and chill in the comfy chairs.
Adrian Phillips: Always enjoy the Bluestone Lane experience. This spot is right near city hall and has plenty of seating upstairs. The toast with almond butter, banana, honey and cinnamon is tops!
Andrew Furman: Looking for an NYC🗽 based Australian🇦🇺🦘🐨 Cafe? This is it! Great cold brew.

Ethiopian Restaurant · Center City West · 27 tips and reviews
ℳansour αℓтαууαr: The vegetarian combination is great, very delicious and filling. Service was great and friendly staff. The seating and place itself needs some more Ethiopian touch.
Kali Morgan: Not only yummy Ethiopian food (plus luncheonette sandwiches, etc) but also some of the best coffee around (try the skinny white Micha). Also super friendly and FAST (unlike other restaurants)
Philadelphia Magazine: Embrace the Ethiopian specialties like dorowat (peppery stewed chicken), zilzil tibs (beef strips sautéed with traditional herbs), and colorful vegetarian stews (get the four-dish combo). Read more.

Ice Cream Parlor · Center City East · 262 tips and reviews
Frank Harris: The best ice cream in the city!! ALL ingredients are home-made with tremendous flavor. Try one of the Banana splits.
Travel Channel: Get the Mt. Vesuvius -- a mountain of homemade chocolate ice cream erupting with hot fudge, brownie chunks and whipped cream. --Adam Richman, Man v Food Nation
Philadelphia Magazine: Delicious handmade flavors—from chocolate and vanilla bean to Hydrox cookie and Teaberry gum—that make this purveyor of sundry sundaes so much more than an ode to the corner malt shop. Read more.
