During your Philadelphia vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Continental Restaurant and Martini Bar
Restaurant entrepreneur Steven Starr has been offering tapas-style dining in this restaurant and martini bar for over five years. The trendy and hip Continental attracts patrons of a wide range of ages to its neo-diner atmosphere. In fact, it used to be a diner; now, giant martini-olive lamps hang over the booths, while Latin and lounge music plays softly. The restaurant's contemporary cuisine includes outstanding sushi-grade pan-seared tuna and miso glazed Chilean sea bass. Follow dinner with a martini, including such exotic variations as chocolate and the Hawaii 5-O.
Kansas City Prime
Though the meals may be a bit pricey, the food tastes great and comes in generous portions. If steak is not your bag, you must try the crab cakes. Other notable menu mentions include Lobster Bisque, Crab Cocktail and Pork Chops. Of course, you'll find a great selection Ribs, Sirloin and Prime Beef. There's a modern bar downstairs, which tends to get congested, and a more quiet, non-smoking room upstairs. Patrons in their late twenties and older enjoy before- and after-dinner drinks and shine in casual-dressy attire. Also, leave your bathroom shyness at home as there is only one, unisex restroom.
Astral Plane
For 27 years, the Astral Plane in Center City has been serving Philadelphia's locals as well as visitors from other cities. This theatrical enclave is a bohemian respite for actors, writes and directors, including Mick Jagger, Bette Midler, Patty Duke, Celine Dion and George Clooney. Soft music, candlelight and fresh flowerets enhance the cuisine. Special entrees include Maxfield Parrish's Blue Salad (spinach salad with blue cheese, raisins, apples and walnuts), Hana's Chicken stuffed with cornbread and pecans mushrooms and a pecan-encrusted salmon filet with maple syrup sauce.
