The New York Times has put together its 2024 restaurant list for its 50 favorite places in America right now, and a Philadelphia eatery made its way onto the list.

Little Walter’s, which just opened its doors in East Kensington in June, is already a favorite.

Inside is a dimly lit, low-slung corner restaurant that serves robust and deftly executed Polish cuisine foods.

“The pierogies are a nonnegotiable, of course, but there are other equally appealing dishes: the rustic sourdough served with dill butter and smalec (lard); the wieprzowina z rożna, sumptuous rotisserie pork on a bed of hearty kapusta (stewed cabbage with onions and sauerkraut); and because this is Philadelphia, a seasonal take on water ice,” writes Nikita Richardson for the The New York Times.

Little Walter’s is owned by chef Michael Brenfleck, who bring recipes inspired by family tradition to the eatery.

“This recognition means the world to us, and we couldn’t have done it without the love and support of our amazing guests and community,” Little Walter’s team wrote in an Instagram post. “From our family recipes to your table, we’re proud to share authentic Polish flavors and heartfelt hospitality every day.”
