Description:
NORTHEAST PHILLY. If you're looking to stray a bit off the gastronomical straight and narrow, few places in Philly can match the delightful daring of Paloma, a restaurant a few miles northeast of Center City that delivers fascinating amalgamation of haute French and Mexican inspirations. Rich, flavorful and artfully presented, owner-chef Adán Saavedra's cookery is unlike that you'd find anywhere else, and his attention to detail and creativity truly reward diners. NB The snug space (and superb food) dictate that reservations are strongly encouraged; last seating is at 8:30pm. |

Description:
CENTER CITY. This Center City restaurant and lounge made its debut in 2000, and in the years since has done nothing except cement its place atop the list of Philly's most attractive gathering places on or off the Avenue of the Arts. Indeed, the stylish space, which pairs exposed brick walls with cool, contemporary furniture, has become a neighborhood fixture, and many of its regulars are folks who are intimately involved with the arts. Come early in the evening and enjoy a pre-theater feast of Mediterranean and Latin-influenced tapas; stop by bar after the show, and you'll find the mixed crowd is comprised of more than a few pretty faces. |

Description:
UNIVERSITY CITY. If you are in Philly and want authentic Mexican, then Zocalo is the place to visit. Snack on zesty homemade guacamole and fresh salsa while you watch your tortillas being made by hand. In addition to traditional dishes like carne asada, you will find more creative selections such as whole shrimp (yes, heads and tails on) in chile sauce, pumpkin dip and pork dumplings in chile broth. For dessert, Zocalo serves the best flan in the city. Many nights there is live Latin music, and there is outdoor dining when the weather cooperates. |
