DAILY VACATIONER: Old City Eats

Old City Philadelphia is an area commonly explored by day time tourists and local office friends. But more and more, Old City is a place to stay and hang around after 5pm! Old City Eats is a great way to explore the area and the myriad of drinking and dining options, many in unique and fun settings. Interested in a bar with 120 bottles of wine - on tap? Try a 5 wine tasting paired with a gold and red beet salad at Panorama. Love a cozy British atmosphere with some unique twists on England's classics? Go for a blue cheese stuffed date wrapped in bacon at The Victoria Freehouse. Or, aim for classic American comfort food in a relaxing and fun atmosphere at JJ Bootleggers, where you can enjoy a giant game of jenga while sipping one of their many moonshine flavors, straight from Gatlinburg, TN.

The unique architecture and buildings of Old City create spaces that bring out the best in a bar and restaurant - owners and chefs that lend their talents to envelope you in an experience the minute you walk in the door. From Indian food at Karma (try the chicken 64!), to light fare at Continental, there is something for everyone in this neighborhood. The beauty of Old City Eats is being able to explore new places and foods at an affordable cost. 30 restaurants offer discounted drink and appetizer specials during hours. Once you try a place or two, this neighborhood will be a go-to place for Thursday nights through August 31st!
