Morning Glory Diner Philadelphia

Breakfast is served!

""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.

Duross & Langel

Good clean fun

"Duross & Langel" is a Philadelphia soap shop. Scented with fruit and herbs, I'm afraid they're works of art almost too beautiful to use in the shower...

Tria

Beer, wine, and cheese Nirvana

"Tria" Philadelphia is my favorite sophisticated yet cozy bar to explore the divine trinity of wine, beer and cheese. Perhaps my favorite is Sunday School.

Night Kitchen

The best bakery in Chestnut Hill

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.
