Where I Go Out
Pied de porc
$$$, French, Bella Vista
"Nobody in the city does pork trotters as well as Pierre Calmels at Bibou. Served with lentils and foie gras, it’s homey and comforting, a real feel-good dish."
Chocolate chip ice cream cone
$, Ice Cream, Center City East
"As a kid, it was a tradition to go with my mom and my sister to Reading Terminal for Bassetts ice cream. My favorite flavor was, and still is, chocolate chip. On a wafer cone, it brings me back to when I was a kid."
Banger sandwich
$$, Burgers, Reservations, Full Bar, Happy Hour, Gastropub, Center City
"Chef Jonathan Adams makes his own British sausages, and for this sandwich, pairs them with a sunny-side up egg and cheese on an awesome brioche bun. It’s the perfect hangover food."
Salatim
$$$, Happy Hour, Full Bar, Israeli, Center City East
"I love this mix of seven Israeli 'salads' at Zahav. All are super, super flavorful and so refreshing I can eat the whole thing by myself."
Steamed & fried dumplings
$$, Chinese, Center City East
"I can never decide between the steamed and fried pork dumplings at this Chinatown mainstay, so I always just get an order of both. They come with amazing ginger oil that I add just a little hot sauce to."
