This week: DINERS
Our top three picks are open all night, so you can dance into the early hours and still get your coffee and comfort food.
CHEERS Melrose Diner 1501 Snyder Ave
(215) 467 6644
Why? At this popular South Philly fixture, everybody knows your name. According to their motto, "Everybody who knows goes to Melrose." Famous for its friendly atmosphere and delicious baked goods, Norm would feel at home here.
HAPPY DAYS Silk City American Diner 435 Spring Garden Ave (215) 592 8832
Why? An old fashioned jukebox, glowing neon lights and art deco booths: we can picture The Fonz and the gang sharing some rich chocolate bread pudding, a crowd-pleasing favorite.
GREASE Little Pete's 219 S 17th St. (215) 545 5508
Why? This neighborhood greasy spoon is as famous for its huge onion rings as it is for being one of the last diners in Philly without a non-smoking section, so make like Rizzo and light up. Don't forget to try their 24-hour breakfast brunch.
