"Philadelphia's restaurant scene, like the city itself, is strong, inventive, diverse, deeply community focused, and strikes that rare balance between relaxed and impressive. As a short sampler of the city's breadth and quality, there's Michael Solomonov's Zahav (which, yes, is worth getting on a plane), South Philly Barbacoa and its outstanding tacos from restaurant owner and community organizer Cristina Martínez, a 20-plus-year-old Indonesian canteen called Hardena, and newcomer Down North Pizza, where community and excellent pies are at the heart of the restaurant."
"All are on this list, plus so much more-we had a lot of contenders to assess when whittling down our editors' favorite picks, but this list should give you a very good taste of the City of Brotherly Love. Make sure to arrive hungry, or channel the Philly spirit and walk everywhere to build up an appetite, because you're going to need it: This is our list of Philadelphia's best restaurants."
