The Fresh Works is a unique cheesesteak joint with eight kinds of cheesesteaks, including a beloved pizza steak and cheesesteak hoagie.

For vegans and nonvegans alike, Batter and Crumbs is the place to go. It offers delicious pastries, cupcakes, and cookies topped with frostings and sprinkles.

If you are looking for a great place to grab a drink, Insatiable is Point Breeze’s hottest new bar with a rotating beer menu, refreshing libations, and wines from across several continents.

Dock Street Brewery, Philadelphia’s first woman-owned brewery, is another great option with its many craft beers.
