Ah brunch, a meal that serves as both breakfast and lunch, usually consumed in the late morning and a long-standing favorite past time of most city dwellers. There is just something wonderful about meeting friends for brunch after a night of being on the town, or taking the family out on that first day when the weather allows for eating outside. Philadelphia is filled with amazing brunching opportunities, so here is a list of as many as we could muster!
