Featured Bars and Restaurants
Philadelphia is a major spanning city. It’s always brimming with exiting new activities and things to do each week. Sometimes answering the simple question of where to eat or get a quick drink can be overwhelming. Each week Philly Influencer will highlight some new places and local favorites to add to your list.
Vedge: The first pop up on this week’s list is a place I had the pleasure of going to last weekend. Vedge is a Locust street wonder. With a full vegetarian menu, this meat free haven has a tremendous lineup of savory dishes that people of all food dietary persuasions would love. Days later I’m still dreaming of its Rutabaga Fondue and glazed tofu.
Clubhouse Sports Lounge: This is more of a heads up alert on this list. This entertainment venue and sports lounge officially opens on January 26th. This space will be the newest hotspot in Rittenhouse Square. It will include two full-service bars, an ice lounge, mega screens, two escape rooms, and more.
Scarpetta: Scarpetta is a Rittenhouse Square Italian eatery that has the perfect mix of traditional dishes and modern twists. Whether you’re in the mood for basil gnocchi, pumpkin mezzaluna, creamy polenta, crispy pork belly, seared scallops, or filet mignon, this place has you covered.
Oloroso: Oloroso is serving up traditional Spanish fare on Walnut Street. This new culinary gem features up to 20 diverse tapas selections, a bounty of paella options, and several cheese assortments. The restaurant also observes a “siesta” on weekends. This means tapas will be served alongside your drink.
