Fri Apr 17 08:54:11 -0700 2009 130788 yannie 1 4604327 So I don't actually like sitting outside that much (hair + wind = annoying), but there are a few spots I do enjoy. Tria - because good weather and good alcohol should be constant companions Parc - because Rittenhouse is a lovely place to spend a mid-day lunch drinking a caraffe or 3 of wine (Some people refer Rouge right next door, but I'm a Parc girl.) Le Jardin - I know it's closed, but it had a cute garden when it was around. :( Fri Apr 17 09:16:04 -0700 2009 4604262 17410 Ali 2 4604427 You can eat outside at Pietro's, Reading Terminal, Paesano's, and Q-BBQ. Fri Apr 17 09:47:37 -0700 2009 4604327 12572 bluehensfan 1 4604484 POPE, 1601, and Cantina in South Philly are very pleasant places to sit outside for beer and dinner, if you can get into that scene. Fri Apr 17 10:02:40 -0700 2009 4604262 281736 barryg 2 4604999 Standard Tap has a great little outdoor patio which is popular. Other bars in Northern Liberties have outdoor seating - North 3rd and Abbaye. Fri Apr 17 12:34:47 -0700 2009 4604484 42935 phillyjules 1 4605294 Table 31 after work. Fri Apr 17 14:10:58 -0700 2009 4604262 213056 mlplyons 2 4606709 a tad over-priced, but you get a great view of the Comcast "wall".

It's lovely...but they need more tables because they are often gone by the time I can get downstairs and across the street!! Come on sunshine!! Tue Apr 21 09:52:22 -0700 2009 4606709 186865 doxiemom 1 4605705 St. Stevens Green up in Fairmount. Quiet, trees, sun...it's the perfect spot for a beer. Fri Apr 17 16:42:26 -0700 2009 4604262 157661 hollyd 1 4606394 Bar Ferdinand cause it's in a little pedestrian walking area with other restaurants. Feels like europe. Last night we went to kite and key. It was a mob scene but we still enjoyed sitting outside with all the youngins and the neighborhood pups. Sat Apr 18 03:11:40 -0700 2009 4604262 11355 joluvscards 1 4606542 Under the Oak, in Oak Lane just a bit south of Cheltenham Ave. has a lovely little fenced-in courtyard. I wouldn't call this a destination restaurant, but if you are in the area, it's a great place for breakfast or lunch--La Columbe coffee, bagels, rasberry scones w/cream, yummy quiches, etc. It's a great little place. Sat Apr 18 06:15:39 -0700 2009 4604262 11847 Hungryin theBurbs 1 4618019 I like Southwark and Raw. Raw better in summer b/c it's cool in between the buildings.
