Quick Bite in Center City

If you ever find yourself wondering around Center City during the day, maybe on a break from work or on your day off, and you want a quick bite to eat, check out Grocery at 13th and Chestnut. It's a pleasantly surprising little shop on the corner, serving everything from fresh-made salmon burgers and turkey empanadas to lovely home made soups that are changed daily. Tip: you can also get two freshly made pieces of baguette for $0.50 that brings a whole new dipping dimension to the experience. Next to the soups, they have a smorgasbord of artisanal cheeses that (Double Tip:) serve as the perfect complement to the bread/soup tag team, creating the perfect lite-but-filling lunch. In the back of the store they have a mini hot-bar with delicious selections from sister restaurant Lolita, a modern Mexican BYO that resides down the street. Last but not least, they have a treasure chest of a salad bar that features an unbelievably tasty Indian curry chicken salad. Aside from that, they have any and everything you could want from a quaint midtown village eatery. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in.
