Philly Local Love List: 10 Places To Eat Through The City

Tela's Market in Fairmount

Talk about doing it right. Tela’s Market in Fairmount is just one of those places you can spend your entire day. Grab a coffee and work from the cozy couch in the back or enjoy the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich at lunch with a friend. And when the sun sets, the warmth really comes alive for dinner. Do yourself a favor and get a vanilla chai latte with oat milk, you’re welcome.

Graffiti Bar + Double Knot

Who doesn’t like a 2 for 1? Start your Asian cuisine happy hour on the Double Knot side of these sister restaurants. Sushi rolls, bao buns, and kung pan chicken wings?? I know your mouth is already watering. Dare to try the cocktail of the day and then head over to Graffiti bar. This back of house oasis get’s packed fast so be sure to grab a seat. While your there, share a scorpion bowl with a friend—or two! And when it comes to the crab ragoon, go ahead and order two plates!

La Fontana Della Citta

This BYOB will change your life! This authenticity of this Italian kitchen will turn into your absolute favorite. For any occasion big or small, they always seem to be able to fit you in! My recs? Everything! But absolutely try the mussels (in white wine sauce), calamari, and my ultimate favorite the lobster ravioli. The place is LIVELY, so if you want a quiet candle lit dinner, try the next spot!

Jeni's Icecream

Who would you be if you didn’t finish the night with something sweet? Jeni’s ice cream has an explosion of flavors AND fresh waffle cones coming out by the second. I recommend sharing because the ice cream is very rich, but of course delicious.
