African-American: Restaurants and Dining
Travel the world with your taste buds
Every now and then, you just have to toss those calorie charts aside and indulge in a scrumptious feast. Well, Philadelphia is just the place to do it. Innovative chefs, unlimited imaginations and diverse international culinary traditions have thrust Philadelphia into the nation’s gastronomic spotlight.
The region’s newest trend — BYOB’s (bring your own bottle)— has not only made dining more affordable, it has launched dozens of cozy mom-and-pop places, authentic ethnic eateries, fresh seafood bistros and four-star restaurants.
So whether you plan to join in a favorite local pastime (the tasty search for the perfect cheesesteak), catch a bite in a friendly neighborhood cafe or pull out all the stops for a sumptuous, candle-lit feast, Philadelphia has a place for you.
If you had a bigger family dinner in mind, we’ve got you covered too. The family meal, from Sunday dinner to yearly reunions, is a shared celebration in the African-American community. This is plainly obvious during a visit to the many African-American restaurants and cafes located throughout the neighborhoods of Philadelphia. From traditional soul food and delectable Southern cuisine to a veritable smorgasbord of international fare, ranging from Ethiopian to Caribbean, the repertoire of Philadelphia’s restaurants is second to none.
Ok already... what are you waiting for?
