Kirstin Baltuskonis: "Fancy Donuts" for $2? YES PLEASE! The Strawberry Rhubarb Pie & Pomegranate Nutella today are AMAZING!
Paul Sanwald: The glazed "fancy" doughnuts are great, but get at least one warm doughnut, it's part of the fun! Chocolate eclair and black and white glazed are really good.
Thrillist: Federal's donuts are made by...ROBOTS!!! Get these thick cake-style 'nuts rolled in standard sugar or cocoa, or filled with the amazing vanilla-cardamom custard. Read more.

German Restaurant · Washington Square West · 134 tips and reviews
Jessica Dennison: Frozen White Chocolate Mousse with rhubarb for desert was delicious <3
Alison T: Sit at the bar and try their great Weiss biers. Ask the bartender about the sour beers they have in bottles.
Philadelphia Magazine: Where else, Renaissance Faires aside, can you order an authentic German beer served in a massive stein and brought to you by waitresses in St. Pauli Girl outfits?
Marilyn Lanchin: Sunday brunch is undoubtably the best in the city. The view overlooking Rittenhouse square isn't too shabby either.
Thrillist: reakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but brunch is the most socially important, so good luck maintaining manners through the Rittenhouse Hotel's Sunday morning sit-down. Read more.

Philly.com: Check out the "Voodoo" – a hot dog with shredded cajun chicken, American Cheese, onion strings and string sauce on a toasted New England-style roll. Read more.
Jake Smith: Order a side of onion strings and ask for an extra side of the special dipping sauce. Whatever it is, this creamy orange magic does deliciously impressive work on taste buds.

RC: The Drinks are fantastic. Trying the Bao buns and pasta! You won't miss the meat. They do it really well here. They recommend 3 tapas dishes per person, I say 2 people could eat 5.
Kathy Toomey: Great place! Good ambience, delicious food, tasty drinks, wonderful service
Abby K: Very small portions but excellent menu. We came with 5 people but it's probably best with a smaller crowd. Again, the food was amazing, just small.
