Cuba Libre - Philadelphia
Address: 10 South 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106 (Map)
With its kitschy theme park decor and its hip Latin beats, Old City’s Cuba Libre is all about the ambiance. The elaborately designed space – with its tall palms and wrought-iron balconies – was built to resemble an outdoor café in Cuba circa 1940. The restaurant’s menu combines “Nuevo Cubano” dishes alongside traditional Cuban cuisine. From the tasty mango butter spread accompanying the bread to the juicy Guava BBQ Rib entrée, this Latin feast will be an experience all its own. The endless variety of Cuban rums and a tasty selection of mojitos, Cuba Libre’s specialty drinks, won’t disappoint either!

Happy Rooster
Address: 118 S. 16th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102 (Map)
A Philadelphia mainstay for 40 years, the Happy Rooster is a mixture of old-school refinement and quirky charm, making it a favorite spot among locals and visitors. Opened as Philadelphia's first vodka and caviar bar in 1968, it was famous for its great food and old-boys’ club feel. When new owner Rose Parrota took over in 2000, she made a few changes. What remains offers a refined, but cozy dining experience. The menu is a selection of classic dinner fare with a few contemporary twists, and the bar offers a diverse wine list. On any given night, you can find locals and newcomers continuing the tradition of enjoying great food and drinks in a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Marrakesh
Address: 517 S. Leithgow Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147 (Map)
You ring the doorbell to gain entrance to Marrakesh, giving you the feel you’re entering a secret Arabesque society. Inside, the waiters wear traditional Moroccan garb, the walls are covered with embroidered rugs, and the couches are low to the ground, giving the space an almost tent-like feel. Guests can opt for a communal experience of being seated with strangers or more private seating. And of course, there’s the food, which comes in seven courses, starting with dishes like Oasis Carrots with Coriander to and ending with Baklava and Mint Tea, leaving you full, satisfied, and knowing you’ll be back for more.
