Bagel Love
4114 Herschel StBest bagels south of Philly. Great for breakfast and lunch. Walking distance.
Amazing French food and hands down best happy hour menu you will ever find anywhere. Happy hour is 4-7 every day. Make a meal out of appetizers. Recommend reserving ahead of time if you can. Otherwise they have first come first serve outdoor and bar seating. Located in the neighborhood, just over a mile from the house - nice walk through park if you’re up for it.
