Best quiet place off the beaten path of the tourist district for a wonderful brunch or amazing cheese & charcuterie plate. Make sure you ask to sit in the back patio when the weather is nice. Paulo and I used to live a block away and went there often.

Very convenient location to our home. They offer pizza as their main food item, but my favorites are their Fried Chicken with pickles and Spaghetti. Also many good beers on tap. In the summer you can get pizza to go and sit in the park.

This is our favorite cozy restaurant in the neighborhood. We go here for brunch almost 3 times a month, but they are good anytime of day. Mediterranean style dishes, but also many classic American dishes. Very reasonable prices, also a BYOB. Try the Shakshouka- it is my favorite dish!

If you like some crazy fun dancing, dive bars and eccentric local people- this is where you go for a good night. Usually a cover charge of about $5-10 to get in. Make sure you take Uber or Lyft there- it is a bit hard to get there via public transit.

This is our favorite movie theater that plays independent and foreign films. There are two other Ritz theaters within a few blocks of this theater- the Ritz Five & the Ritz Bourse so compare shows at all 3 locations. If you have been in Old City sightseeing and you're tired and need to rest, this is a good place to go.

Opera, Broadway, Ballet. Local secret: Two hours before a show, head over to the ticket box office in person while you are around center city. Ask if they have any rush tickets available (these are steeply discounted last minute tickets). Quite often you can get them, but has to be in person and paid for with cash.
