Fountain Restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia

Copy Link
Sure, it's a standby, but it's a standby for a reason. When you're rich in a city foreign to you, you stay at the Four Seasons. And you eat at The Fountain.

Oyster House

Copy Link
Old money hangs out here. It's been sold back and forth, but it's back where it belongs in the Mink family. And where the grandfathers went, the grandkids now down martinis and do oyster shooters.
The Cougar den. There's lots of rich divorcees here, and young men looking to be kept. But, don't discount the solid food and drink list.

Pyramid Club

Copy Link
This is one of the old-time institutions that requires membership and networking talents. And money. Lots of money. Some people don't even know it exists.
A beautiful bar and amazing liquor collection attract cash. And the young, beautiful people looking to get snared by those with big bank. The brown booze selection is worth the trip, though.

Le Bec-Fin

Copy Link
Le Bec Fin recently changed hands, but it's still the place to be seen if you're into big-time wines. And the check average is still around $150, which is among the tops in Philly. While the decor is a little old-fashioned, it's still worth a gander.

Zee Bar

Copy Link
Right down the block from Delilah's is Zee Bar, where the young and rich blow wads of cash on drinks, and um, entertainment.

Smith & Wollensky - Philadelphia

Copy Link
Sure, there's The Palm and Capital Grille, but the younger wealthy crowd often hangs at Smith & Wollensky. Big steaks and California Cabs always attract expense accounts.

Tir Na Nog Irish Bar & Grill

Copy Link
There isn't a huge investment banker crowd in Philly, but the ones that are end up at Tir Na Nog at happy hour and stay until way late. And, douchebag clients or not, they pour a mean Guinness.

Amis Trattoria

Copy Link
Sure Vetri's namesake restaurant is the main attraction, but Amis seems to attract the wealthy who don't like to make reservations weeks in advance. You'll find plenty of out-of-town celebs here, too. And the food and wine list are fantastic.
