Morning Glory Diner Philadelphia

Breakfast is served!

Doug from Philadelphia

""Morning Glory Diner" is the restaurant in Philadelphia I take guests for breakfast/brunch. Everything is made from scratch - check out the frittatas!"

I have always loved this place. It's where I take any guest in town for breakfast/brunch. BEWARE the weekends though. Lines can get a little crazy especially if you arrive after 09:30.

Morning Glory Cafe has, in my opinion, the best big breakfast in town. Everything is made from scratch from their Frittatas to their biscuits and is to die for. If you've never had a Frittata, think omelet but fatter and more circular. Their Biscuits are (I am a biscuit fiend) made on a large deep tray and you are cut a near 4 inch square that you need to then figure out how you are going to fit into your face.

Come with your fam, come with your friends, come as you are and sit at the counter and get an amazing breakfast or brunch in lovely Bella Vista. I know they also do an incredible lunch but I can never order it as I love the breakfast too much. It's cash only and I'm pretty sure they don't do reservations, first come first serve! They are also Vegetarian friendly.

I enjoy films, reading, meeting new people, and trying new things. I also love to tell stories about my travels. All in all I would say I try my best to appreciate my life and make the mos...

Laurel Hill Cemetery

I see dead people

"Laurel Hill Cemetery" in Philadelphia is equal parts public garden, sculpture park, historical campus and graveyard. It's a truly special spot...

How "Night Kitchen" get its cinnamon rolls to absorb so much butter is one of the great mysteries of Philadelphia. It's my favorite bakery in Chestnut Hill.

Too pretty to eat

"Hokka Hokka" in Philadelphia is the sushi bar/restaurant my husband and I start so many of our dates. This balance of tasty and beauty is something else.

Besides the packed schedule of shows, they are also a daytime coffee shop that opens its bar at noon. They have a great (rotating) wine selection as well!

Mummers Concerts

So local

The only reason I know about the Mummers Concerts in Philadelphia is because I lived behind the small 'park' for over 10 years! Can't get more local...
