Philadelphia- Brunch at Khyber Pass Pub
I love a quick weekend trip to Philadelphia. We usually shoot down on the train Saturday morning, eat drink and explore as much as humanly possible for the next 36 hours and then return home by Sunday night. It's such a quick and easy escape. Unfortunately we completely timed this one wrong...tickets for the last Grateful Dead show in Chicago went on sale just as we were exiting our cab. We stood on a corner in the freezing cold for about 20 minutes before finally shuffling into Khyber Pass to continue the frustrating cycle of refresh and deny. Khyber is billed as a gastropub but if visions of the Spotted Pig come to mind erase them. This is gastro grunge rock style with a super dark bar up front and wooden rickety tables in the back. It's everything I love about a dive bar but with an incredible beer list and fantastic food. The brunch menu had all the usual suspects plus a few New Orleans treats like big, fluffy beignets...
