Guidebook for Philadelphia
Food Scene
We love Kermit's! The best bakery and pizza joint! One of our favorite morning jaunts and one of our favorite places when craving a slice.
It's takeout only, but there is a small neighborhood park up the street (22 and Carpenter) that you can sit in with your treats.

Honey's is open for dinner and is just as delicious, but it's traditionally more of a brunch and breakfast spot. Cash only, ATM on premise.
