I was thrilled to find a couple and made sure to work a visit into my schedule. Tinsel was great! Both floors were decorated top to bottom with spooky decorations. We stopped by early in the night so we had the place to ourselves to really explore. The staff was great and offered some advice on which speciality drink to get. When you get one of their Halloween drinks, you get to keep the glass it comes in too, which was awesome! 10/10 was a great time!!

I really enjoyed my experience at My Loup so was excited to try this place out. The patio feels…read morelike you've walked into your friend's spacious backyard with string lights and plants. It was a super hot night out so we asked to be seated inside and they were able to accommodate us. Apparently inside seating is actually reserved for walk-ins so good to know for those who can't get a Resy! The food was good enough but I think the ambiance of the place and the amazing service really made the experience worth it for me. Definitely don't skip the hanger steak--it's perfectly medium rare and juicy. The tomato toast was flavorful but the toast was pretty thick and hard to bite into especially around the crust, although that might just be a me problem. I look forward to doing a walk-in to try their dessert sometime before the pop-up wraps up!

Filipino cuisine in Philly can be a hit-or-miss at times, but Baby's has always nailed it at every…read moremoment. I've been twice now, first time since after their temporary closure summer 2026, and the ambiance is just as welcoming and cozy. The interior gives a lot of space for dining but also study, and there's plenty of merch to purchase as well. The restaurant doubles as a café and bakery, with some of the best matcha and hojicha lattes and baked goods around. The Food Breakdown: Kanto Fried Chicken Sando (5/5) - The hot chili oil comes through each juicy bite, and the brioche is soft and just complements the overall sandwich really well. Their fries are also seasoned very well, making for a great bite.

Came to Baby's for lunch with a friend since we were craving Filipino food. As a Filipino, I…read moredefinitely had high expectations going in. Overall, this place was good. You order at the front and then find a table upstairs. There's plenty of seating, and the interior has a really cool vibe with nice decor. The food did take quite a while to come out despite it not being too busy when we visited. We started with the ensaymada after seeing all the baked goods displayed at the front. The presentation was really eye-catching and enticed me to order it, but unfortunately, it wasn't that great. It wasn't very soft and was served pretty cold, so I really wish they had warmed it up. The cream on the outside was also pretty thin, and overall it tasted a little too bready for me. I definitely enjoyed our main dishes more. I got the kare-kare katsu, which I was excited to try since kare-kare is one of my favorite Filipino dishes and I also love Japanese katsu. The fusion sounded really interesting! It was pretty good, although I wish the sauce had more of that traditional strong peanut flavor you expect from kare-kare. The katsu itself was fairly standard, but everything still worked well together. My friend got the shredded beef tapsilog, which I actually thought was better than my dish. The beef was flavorful, and I liked that it came with a generous portion of vegetables. I definitely want to come back for their weekend brunch menu because I've heard their buko pandan pancakes are really good. We didn't realize they were only available on the weekends, which was a little disappointing. I wish some of their weekend items were available during the week too! Overall, Baby's is a pretty decent Filipino spot. A lot of the dishes feel more modernized and fusion-inspired rather than super traditional or authentic, but the food was still enjoyable. I'd come back, especially to give their weekend brunch a try!

They even had Abominable Snowman but he was surrounded by so many I had to grab a picture from a distance and couldn't ask if he really bounces.

Half the fun is looking around and trying to figure out which movie or TV show inspired each decoration. Christmas music plays nonstop. There's a fixed drink menu and no seating, so it's very much a stand-and-hang-out kind of place. From what we heard, it can get pretty packed later in the evening, but we arrived right when it opened at 4:00 PM and had no wait at all. It ended up being a great place to kick off the night. The cocktail list is entirely Christmas-themed--festive and fruity flavors. The cocktails are served in Christmas themed vessels. If cocktails aren't your thing, they do offer beer and seltzer options as well. It's a fun, high energy stop that's perfect for soaking in some holiday spirit.

I had a positive experience here on a Wednesday evening. They do $5 margarita specials (or $9…read morepouches which are cute) on Wednesdays that aren't limited to happy hour so that was what drew me in. The guy at the entrance will ID you and give you a wristband if you think you'll want to drink and he also explained the way to order. You will want to bring your cell phone and credit card info to order from toasttab (i believe) from your table, where there will be a QR code linking the order form and your table number. There is an option in the app to also correct it if there are any mistakes but I had no issues. Note they do charge 20% gratuity which I believe is to pay their staff a better wage than minimum from what I read. A server will drop off your food and drinks once ordered and they were always very nice. I enjoyed two watermelon margs and a container of curly fries for 18.50 including gratuity. Note the margaritas are like 1/3 to 1/2 ice but again for 5$ in this part of the city it is what it is, and I know the ice will be appreciated on a hot day. Ordering from my cell phone was a great feature to have since I went alone just to check things out and not having to lose my table or worry about my stuff getting stolen was wonderful. There was plenty of seating when I got there shortly after work but maybe only 2-3 open tables by the time I left. The music wasn't too loud and it was good people watching. It is noisy considering the part of the city it's in but hey it's a convenient location for Center City workers. I will visit again for the margaritas.

The drink was pretty good I was just a little tiny sad it didn't come with a piece of watermelon in the drink like they advertise.

I visited Philadelphia this past weekend and made it a point to try as much food as I could. I…read morestumbled across Once Upon a Spice on Instagram and noticed that they were open for the 2 days I was there. The menu is limited, but I had no complaints given that it is a popup. I opted for the Chicken Khurchan Kathi Rolls while my 3 other friends all went with the Kathal Kashti Jackfruit Tacos. For dessert, we got the Gajar Halwa Kulfi. We were super impressed with their responsiveness and engagement-they sent us a confirmation around an hour before pickup time and even followed up with a personal message after we failed to show at our specified time (we were running late). Our food was ready for us when we arrived and the pickup was quick and easy. Kathal Kashti Jackfruit Tacos - These tacos were a perfect blend of texture and flavor. The jackfruit was cooked and seasoned well. The shells were standard corn tortillas doubled to prevent breakage. The food was amazing, but the quantity was a bit meager. The tacos were stuffed well but there were only 2, which is more of an appetizer than a meal. Chicken Khurchan Kathi Rolls - I had such high hopes for this dish but was honestly let down immensely. The meal itself was a small roll that lacked any real shape; it looked pretty unappetizing. There was no indication of any crispy onion within the roll and the chicken pieces were sparse. The cilantro chutney tasted fresh, but did little to elevate the overall flavor of the meal. To top it off, the portion size was quite small. Even though it was only $8, I would have expected something slightly more filling for dinner. Gajar Halwa Kulfi - LOVED THIS. After being disappointed by my entree, this kulfi really redeemed the meal for me. I'm honestly not a fan of kulfi, but the flavors in this dessert were spot on. The carrot was very prominent, and it delivered on the "halwa" flavor with actual pieces of halwa within the kulfi. This definitely exceeded my expectations and was a wonderful finish to the meal. Overall, I was satisfied with my experience here. It seems like the Kathi Rolls were an anomaly; everything else we ordered was very tasty. I'd recommend giving this place a shot-follow their Instagram page for updates on where to find them next!
