Top Restaurants:

- Zahav: Although this award-winning restaurant is the top spot in Philly, you'll have just indulged in the same modern Israeli cuisine at our wedding! Instead, try some of our favorites:

- Parc: Iconic french food for breakfast, lunch or dinner on Rittenhouse Square Park. Grab a sidewalk seat and enjoy the best bread basket in town. Oui oui!

- Saloon: Our favorite old school Italian spot that's been around for a thousand years. We love the martinis, spicy marinara ravioli (Lauren) and veal (Rob).

Almyra: The latest place to see and be seen! Transport to Greece and enjoy this trendy spot for just drinks through to full dinner.

Pat's vs. Gino's: Both claim to have THE Philadelphia Cheesesteak. You can be the judge!

Top Spots to Grab a Drink:

- Rouge: Where you'll likely find us on any given night of the week.

- Dandelion: Craft beers and modern takes on British cuisine in a pubby setting.

- The Goat: A gastropub with pool tables, casual vibes and a central location

- The Ritz Carlton Lobby Bar: Self explanatory!
