East Passyunk
Passyunk Avenue is the closest Philly gets to a purpose-built date street: a diagonal cut through deep South Philly lined with restaurants that take the meal seriously and the dress code lightly. Townsend for the tasting menu when you are ready to commit. Le Virtu for handmade Abruzzese pasta and a wine list with opinions. Cantina Los Caballitos for the loud, tequila-forward version of the same night. Walk the Singing Fountain stretch between courses, end at Bing Bing Dim Sum or a Termini cannoli. The tradeoff: it is a dinner street, not a bar crawl, and weekend reservations are non-negotiable.
