This is a great coffee shop/ deli/ lunch spot that then shuts down at night and reopens as the "Secret Supper Club". It is a fixed menu and every bite is absolutely delicious- worth every penny!

Arts & Culture
The Barnes Foundation was established by Albert C. Barnes in 1922 to “promote the advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts and horticulture.” The Barnes holds one of the finest collections of post-impressionist and early modern paintings and was recently moved into center city Philadelphia from its original home in Merion, PA. It is a true Philadelphia gem and well worth a visit!
