30 Places to Find the Best Philadelphia Brunch Cocktails
In Philadelphia, brunch isn’t just a portmanteau, it’s a religion. Observant brunchers never miss a seating. Others go when they can, or when the parents come to town. Whichever type of bruncher you are, you agree it’s a good way to spend a late morning/early afternoon on the weekend, and that eating yourself into a food coma and day-drinking a liquid brunch should be followed by a nap. Check-out the 30 places we’ve rounded-up for you. Brunch times and exceptions are noted.
