After a long week of classes, a stressful evening at work or even a hard night of partying (no shame), nothing is better than a delicious brunch get-together on the weekend.
I avoid going to J&H and the SAC at all costs. Not only because I’m a senior and no longer have a meal plan, but also because Philly is one of the best brunch cities in the country.
Next time you’re looking for a Saturday or Sunday brunch spot with your friends, family or significant other, try out one of these affordable and satisfying restaurants – all within two miles of Temple’s campus.
