Upscale Pub Fare
Philadelphia loves its gastro-pubs
When it comes to stellar pub grub, Northern Liberties’ Standard Tap and its Standard burger can’t be beat. Along Girard Avenue, it’s off to the hip dive Johnny Brenda’s for lamb kabobs and local microbrews, while South Street’s Tritone offers amazing Creole cuisine and fried candybars — that’s chocolate candy (think Mounds, Almond Joy, Twix, Milky Way, Reese's Cups) dipped in a thick waffle-style batter, deep fried and topped with ice cream, hot fudge and lots of other goodies. (You have to taste it to believe it.)
