The Cafe

One restaurant everyone should try while they are living in Philadelphia is The Café, 2011 Walnut Street. It is located in center city only a few blocks away from Rittenhouse Square. It is very close to public transportation and it is in an overall great area.

The best part of The Café is their Sunday brunch. It is from 10:00-2:00 every Sunday. Everything on their menu is super cheap. I take my girlfriend there almost every Sunday and it usually costs us around $15 for an actual meal. I always get the Three Cheese Omelet and it is great.

There is a ton of stuff to do around that area so I never have a boring Sunday. It is in walking distance to U Penn’s Ice Skating rink. If skating is not your thing it’s also really nice to just hang out in Rittenhouse square for a while. If you do have some money to spend (which I doubt you will if you’re living on the stipend) there are also lots of cool shops in that area.
