Rainy Day Rescue in Philadelphia — Cozy & Indoor

Zahav

Cozy dinner indoors — Michael Solomonov's hummus and lamb shoulder — book a month out.

Indie venues, natural-wine bars and the city's best young food scene.

Hundreds of games, coffee and snacks — equally great solo, on a date or in a group.

Extraordinary medical curiosity museum — a wildly memorable date or solo outing unlike anything else.

Federal Donuts

Warm indoor lunch — Half-dozen donuts and a piece of Korean-spiced fried chicken.

Amish pretzels, roast pork sandwiches and a century of vendors under one roof.

Arcade, axe throwing, virtual sports and shareable plates — works rain, snow or shine.

Suraya

Low-lit dinner — All-day Levantine market, café and dining room with garden seating.

Beloved neighbourhood music venue and gastropub where locals discover their next favourite band.

Pat's King of Steaks

Slow brunch — Order 'whiz wit' and eat it standing up.

Run the steps, then actually go inside — the museum is world-class.
