A salad chain that is prominent on the East Coast. We love going there when we want healthy food, but have no time. Salads are between 8-10$ but easy fill you

You know Bobby Flay? The renowned chef? He opened this tasty burger restaurant in 2010 and it has been a happening place ever since. We almost always get the LA Burger. You can also crunchify (add potato chips) to any burger for free!

Iconic ice cream shop in old city, steps away from 2nd street station on the Market Frankford Line (which is only a few stops from our house). This ice cream shop gets very busy on weekends in the summer.

One of the BEST brunch places in Philly. It also happens to be walking distance from out house. Order the Stuffed Challah French Toast and share it with one other person ( you will still be full). This is one of our favorite breakfast/brunch places in Philly.

Pat's vs. Gino's is the long time Philadelphia Cheesesteak Rival. This is probably the most touristy place to buy a cheesesteak in Philadelphia. We both don't have a preference as to which place is best, but they are across the street from each other, so maybe you should decide?

This is a vegan restaurant. They have vegan Philly cheesesteak if that is your thing. They have a lot of other options that you will be surprised are vegan, because they don't neccessarily taste vegan.

Our favorite place to go dancing. From salsa to bachata, this is a great place for novice to experts to go dancing. It is also right off of the 2nd street subway station, so it is a quick train ride from our house.

Boathouse row is an iconic road where all of the local Universities store their rowing boats for use on the Schuylkill River. Take a run, jog, walk, or bike ride on the Schuykill river train, which will take you all the way to Valley Forge if you set your heart to it (and want to go 20+ miles)
