EDITOR’S ITINERARY JESSICA GREEN CELEBRATING 80 YEARS OF TRAVEL

The Essential Philadelphia Philly is a city comprised of neighborhoods. All of which hold their own landmarks, restuarnts and unique flair. If you only have limited time to make the most of this city, we can show you how. This month, turn your attention to Chestnut Hill, where you can get a taste of the city in less than two hours.

80 MINUTES IN:

Chestnut Hill It may seem odd to suggest an entire town for an article on how to spend just 80 minutes. And while Chestnut Hill could certainly entertain for much longer (a stay at the Chestnut Hill Hotel makes an entire week there sound appealing), it’s also easy to hit the hot spots in just 80 minutes. Hop on the Septa Chestnut Hill West Line and head straight to Germantown Avenue, the neighborhoods’ main street, for shopping at local favorites like Style Camp, Chestnut Hill Cheese Shop and art gallery, Gravers Lane.

Pick up a grab-and-go lunch at Market at the Fareway, and if time still permits, spend the last of it at Woodmere Art Museum, which is full of paintings, sculptures and photographs from local artists. www.chestnuthillpa.com Get going! Explore the city at wheretraveler.com.

Step inside the famous blockbuster, “Jurassic World” without leaving Philadelphia. Great for all ages, the Franklin Institute invites you to get up close and personal with dinosaurs and the land of Isla Nublar, where Jurassic World takes place.

CHEF TALK

Culinary Excellence

It’s hard to determine whether Philadelphia chefs helped raised the city’s national profile or the city’s rising national profile put the spotlight on local chefs. But, whichever came first, there’s no doubt you’re seeing more Philly cooks than ever competing on TV competitions, smiling from the pages of glossy food magazines, hosting culturally rich documentaries or being interviewed by Anthony Bourdain. It’s an exciting time for these hometown chefs, who fortunately, are as culinarily talented as they are telegenic.

Michael Solomonov

Jose Garces

Kevin Sbraga

Marc Vetri

Marc Vetri When Mario Batali says your restaurant is the best Italian spot on the East Coast, people notice. That’s what happened to Marc Vetri, one of Philly’s best known and most acclaimed chefs. Since opening his eponymous trattoria in 1998, Vetri and his longtime business partner Jeff Benjamin expanded their company to include Osteria, Amis, Alla Spina, Lo Spiedo and Pizzeria Vetri, which is on a fast expansion track thanks to last year’s buy-out of the empire by Urban Outfitters. Vetri (the restaurant) remains the exempt, and it’s where you can still find Vetri (the chef) cooking dishes like Swiss chard gnocchi, porchetta with stone fruit and seared scallops with truffled corn crema.

Jose Garces Jose Garces stormed on the Philly dining scene when he opened Amada in 2005. The chef had a singular vision of sangria and flamenco that resonated with diners and eventually led to a restaurant empire. Food Network projected Garces into the spotlight during a victorious turn on Next Iron Chef. Today, you can get a taste of his talent at local restaurants like Distrito in UniverJose Garces

sity City, Village Whiskey in Center City and The Olde Bar in Old City.

Philly is home to plenty of Top Chef talent, but Kevin Sbraga is the original. Jersey native Sbraga was cooking at Stephen Starr’s Rats restaurant in the Garden State while the seventh season of the Bravo hit aired.

After becoming the unlikely champ and a household name, the chef opened his self-titled restaurant on Broad Street, followed by Southern smash the Fat Ham (credited with bringing Nashville-style hot chicken to Philly). Sbraga’s latest venture is a second Fat Ham at the King of Prussia Mall, which opened this fall.

Michael Solomonov came up in the kitchen of Marc Vetri, but now, the chef of Israeli sensation Zahav is often rightly credited for igniting America’s new obsession for Middle Eastern cooking, along with his business partner, Steve Cook. Solomonov and Cook now run a bunch of restaurants, including Abe Fisher, hummus hot spot Dizengoff, which just opened a location in New York, and Federal Donuts, the fried chicken-and-donut shop also in expansion mode to Nashville.

The duo’s cookbook, “Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking,” won 2016 James Beard awards for cookbook of the year and international cookbook, and Solmonov is currently the host of the new documentary “In Search of Israeli Cuisine.”

Michael Solomonov

Nicholas Elmi A few years after Kevin Sbraga won Top Chef, Collingswood, New Jersey resident and former Le Bec-Fin chef, Nicholas Elmi gave Philly a repeat victory. A dark horse in the competition, Elmi had opened his intimate restaurant, Laurel, on East Passyunk a few months before the show’s finale, leading to rabid speculation that he’d be crowned the victor. Three years later, Laurel has gone tasting menu only and remains one of the most in demand tables in town, and just this past summer Elmi debuted ITV next door. The Nicholas Elmi wine bar, featuring a fantastic selection of offbeat bottles by resident sommelier Heather Thompson, is a joyride of a la carte plates like prawns glossed in yuzu kosho butter, dry-aged beef fat biscuits and haystuffed fried poussin.

Feast Your Eyes on Thanksgiving It’s hard to be away from home for Thanksgiving, a holiday whose foundation is family and feasting. But, not to worry, whether you eat in or take-out, these local spots have you covered for all your turkey, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie needs.

–BY ADAM ERACE

PERCY STREET BBQ The popular South Street smokehouse is under new ownership as of summer, but proprietor Michael Day is firm about keeping up Percy’s Thanksgiving tradition. There are a couple options, but each includes a house-smoked turkey paired with rich gravy and tangy cranberry sauce. www.percystreet. com. 900 South St., 215.625.8510.

Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade

THANKSGIVING IN PHILLY:

Parade of Thanks As the oldest Thanksgiving parade in the country, the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade is an annual tradition for locals and visitors. The parade stretches across 1.4 miles and features huge floats, balloons and tons of performers—see everything from local choir groups to dancers and marching bands. The parade also marks the start of the holiday season, with a visit from Santa and holiday cheer throughout. The parade begins at 20th Street and JFK Boulevard and ends at the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Escape the crowds standing along the frontlines of the parade route and find a spot at the steps to see the finale. Or, take the little ones and head to Eakins Oval (2601 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy.), where kids entertainment and refreshments are served as you watch. On Thursday, November 24 from 8:30 am-12:00 pm, www.6abc.com.

Serpico

SERPICO Peter Serpico’s eponymous restaurant is known for its bold flavors and interesting ingredient pairings but the chef keeps things pretty traditional for Thanksgiving. Three courses ($75) include dishes like sage-scented kabocha squash, fried Brussels sprouts and the star of the show: roasted turkey with leek stuffing and fried turkey skin. www.serpicoonsouth. com. 604 South St., 215.925.3001.

LACROIX AT THE RITTENHOUSE One of the best dining experiences in the city is brunch at Lacroix, the fine-dining icon on the second floor of the Rittenhouse hotel. For Thanksgiving, chef Jon Cichon’s buffet is being served

Bank & Bourbon

all day. In addition to treats like blue cheese croissants with pear flambé and black garlic short rib, diners will enjoy elevated holiday fare like herb-roasted turkey and red currant-glazed ham. www. lacroixrestaurant.com. 210 W. Rittenhouse Sq., 215 790.2533.

BANK & BOURBON The stylish restaurant on the ground floor of the Loews Hotel is going the pre-fixe route for Thanksgiving dinner. For $55, guests get their choice of appetizer (beef barley soup or hamachi crudo kissed with grapefruit), main (filet mignon or brioche-stuffed turkey with brown buttered mashed potatoes) and dessert, one option of which, the bread pudding, obviously includes a slug of Bourbon. www. bankandbourbon.com. 1200 Market St., 215. 231.7300.

RED OWL TAVERN Just steps from the historical bounty of Independence Mall, Red Owl Tavern at Hotel Monaco is adding a $28 Thanksgiving entrée to its regular dinner menu. A crispskinned portion of heritage breed bird with garlic smashed potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, root vegetable stuffing and cranberry chutney. www.redowltavern.com.

Their world famous Italian Roast Pork sandwich is known to be the original and is worth the trip.
