A prime place for people-watching, Rouge draws a beautiful evening crowd that doesn't have a problem dressing to the nines. As for the eats, the fare hovers in the vicinity of New American, from gourmet burgers to pan-seared Atlantic salmon.

MUSEUM DISTRICT & FAIRMOUNT PARK. The brunch standout here is the bloody mary and mimosa bar, where you can combine your own ingredients to create your very own perfect cocktail. Traditional breakfast dishes like pancakes and eggs benedict are joined by more creative fare, such as smoked turkey and black bean hash, and a breakfast quesadilla. Sandwiches and sides round out the menu. If you like your food spicy, ask for one of their homemade hot sauces.

SOUTH PHILLY. Just a hop, a skip and a jump from the Italian Market, this brunch favorite exudes equal doses of charm and good-natured quirkiness. In point of fact, Sabrina's is loved by many, and it's not hard to find the place – just head down to Christian Street any weekend morning, and you'll likely see folks queued up on the sidewalk, eagerly waiting for a table to open. Once you land a seat, your dedication is rewarded by some of the tastiest challah-stuffed French toast you'll find anywhere. Reservations accepted for dinner only.

SOUTH PHILLY. Judging from the ambience, you may expect to see Rocky in here chowing down on a roast pork sandwich. In point of fact, the joint's as good as any when it comes to serving up a cheese steak. And even though Shank's and Evelyn's is a "hole in the wall," this is also where the locals and the city's politicians gather for home cooked breakfasts. Yo! Hows 'bout two over easy with a side of browns?

SOUTH PHILLY. Do a few things and do them well. Carman obviously believes in this philosophy – the menu, which features five or six dishes, changes daily and is recited by your server. Quirky combinations and breakfast standbys with a twist are the norm; loyal patrons swing by regularly to sample Carman's old favorites and new concoctions. Call ahead to reserve a table – the place is small, and it gets packed. After visiting once or twice, Carman will probably call you by name.
