Sweet little cafe with a heart for social justice. The business model is they train young people who have aged out of foster care to learn business skills and work in the cafe. Part of profits go to support the program.

My friend, Chef Mark, will save seats for you. Trust me, this is some of the best food in Philly. And it's typically about $25 for appetizer and entree. Let me know, and I'll call him. He always welcome my guests happily and with a big smile.

If you love terror, you have to go to the Ghost Tours during the month of October. Otherwise, it is still a cool and creepy tour during the day of this ginormous fortress of a building with lots of outside spaces once you are inside the walls.
