Open since 2006, the cozy Umai Umai covers all the sushi must-haves, from simple rolls like spicy salmon to inventive combinations like the “krakken” with shrimp tempura, eel, avocado, soft shell crab, cherries, aioli, and almond. Come with a bottle of wine; it’s BYOB.

Philly’s flagship Whole Foods is so much more than a well-stocked grocery store. The sprawling shop is home to “Restaurant Row”: a collection of fast-casual outposts of local favorites, including Federal Donuts, falafel shop Goldie, and hummusiya Dizengoff. Along with a killer food court, there’s a full bar and a mobile cart serving beer, wine, and cocktails.

At this sophisticated Italian BYOB from Tod Wentz of Townsend, chef Michael Millon creates seasonal menus with dishes like goat cheese gnocchi and cavatelli with escargot, served a la carte or in a four-course family style meal for $65 per person. Stop at the ATM first — the restaurant is cash only.

There are worthy satellites of Marc Vetri’s first foray into the world of casual dining, but this is the Neapolitan pizza place that started it all. Ordering a couple of pies is a given, but no trip to Pizzeria Vetri — now owned by Urban Outfitters — is complete without a rotolo stuffed with mortadella and pistachio pesto.

Romance has been in the air at this Fairmount corner restaurant for 30 years. Book a table for two on the foliage-filled mezzanine after a visit to the Barnes museum and dig into mussels with garlic butter, pappardelle with sausage and short rib, or roast chicken with risotto.

Paying homage to a certain Founding Father’s famously electric experiment, Kite & Key is the craft brew hub of the neighborhood. Snag one of the sidewalk tables, order wings and a sandwich, and dive into the draft list.

A lighthearted menu of Japanese and Korean dishes comes together at this neighborhood BYOB. While diners aren’t going to find any Tsukiji-sourced fish at Doma, the menu is peppered with fun fusion fare like bibimbap rolls, tuna-filled jalapeno poppers, and sashimi sundaes.

The Art Museum outpost of brunch specialist Sabrina’s serves breakfast all day and has the most inventive lineup of rotating brunch dishes in the city. But the menu at this casual eatery goes well beyond the morning meal, with sandwiches, burgers, salads, and soups.

Sustainably sourced cuts and a rustic-chic aesthetic sets this modern steakhouse on the lobby level of the Logan hotel apart from the rest of the city’s meat meccas. On the roof of the hotel is the lounge Assembly, which offers picture-perfect views of the Parkway (but note that for events like Fourth of July fireworks, Assembly charges a cover).

Its main distinction may be the longevity of its building, but for those in search of a cold beer in a divey pub atmosphere, Mace’s Crossing hits the spot. The bar is set in a former carriage house that predates the Parkway, which was built in 1917. 

South Indian dishes, along with a full bar, are the draw at Thanal, which serves everything from idly to crab-stuffed naan to Chettinad chicken. Looking to stick with veggies? There are several vegetarian and vegan options on the menu.
