This is a great coffee shop/ deli/ lunch spot that then shuts down at night and reopens as the "Secret Supper Club". It is a fixed menu and every bite is absolutely delicious- worth every penny!

Great new spot- small dishes and medium sized portions. Right on Fitler Square- only open after 4 during the week (open for brunch during the weekend) but worth going early so you can sit outside.

Arts & Culture

The Barnes Foundation was established by Albert C. Barnes in 1922 to “promote the advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts and horticulture.” The Barnes holds one of the finest collections of post-impressionist and early modern paintings and was recently moved into center city Philadelphia from its original home in Merion, PA. It is a true Philadelphia gem and well worth a visit!
