Lunching in Philly

Having spent the majority of my time in Philly these past few weeks, I've accumulated quite a collection of photos from various lunch spots around the area. Enjoy!

Zavino in University City


Top: Short rib ravioli (daily special), Tonarelli with ricotta veal meatballs
Bottom: Side of brussels sprouts with sherry vinaigrette
My avocado salad! The sad life of trying to be healthy... this made that life a little easier
Diavolo pizza - sopressata, mozzarella, crushed tomato, chili flakes, oregano, parmesan

The newly opened Zavino in University City (closer to Drexel than Penn, lucky people) was a game-time decision made during lunch one weekend when we wanted something close but were sick of our own on-campus options. What a great find! It's affordable, filling, and the pizzas are amazing. The place was pretty empty when we went, but I'm assuming it was because everyone usually ends up choosing brunch places instead during the weekend. I can see the place getting pretty crowded during dinner time and late night drinks (much like Tap House Grill), but definitely worth a visit!


Wedge + Fig in Old City


Top: Shackamaxon, creamy brie, house-roasted turkey breast, walnut mustard aioli, mango + arugula on challah
Bottom: John Oates, taleggio, sopressata, black forest ham, tasso ham, fried egg, tomato + roasted garlic spread on pumpernickel
+ a kind of creepy, but also really idyllic walkway to the outdoor garden!

I am SO SO happy to have finally gone to Wedge + Fig. I absolutely love grilled cheese sandwiches, especially those that mix together all different types of meats, cheeses, and other fresh ingredients. All I can say is, if you've never gone here, you have to try it! And if you have... go again! And take me with you, please!!
