Where should i celebrate my 27th birthday in Philly?

I%26#39;m attending a programme for 2 weeks and are going to stay outside of Philly. But on Saturday 13th of October I want to celebrate my 27th birthday in town. We are going to be up to 11 people and need a nice place to dine. I want it to be genuine for Philly (not ethnic) and then go out to party. Please give your advise for the perfect birthday celebration :).

Where will you be staying?

We%26#39;re staying in the Horsham/Willow Grove area for the 2 weeks and are just coming into town to celebrate. We did all the must-see things last year.

Since it sounds like you might be a student, what%26#39;s the budget we are looking at :)

Well, you don%26#39;t really need to come into town. I think Kenny%26#39;s on Street Road in Southampton will fit your needs. The food is good, reasonably priced, a 15 minute drive from Willow Grove, and at 9:00 the place turns into a jumpin%26#39; club with live music (weekends). Lots of people your age for the club scene.

There are a number of restaurants that feature New AMerican cuisine, which is essentiolly a fusion of many other cuisines, often featuring seasonal, local items. I suggest you take a look at the website for Fork, an excellent restaurant in Old City. They serve delicious food and the atmosphere is sophisticated casual. They also have awesome desserts.

BYOBs are really great for celebrating b-days. Although, since they are small there are quite a few that can%26#39;t accept large groups. A couple that will and that are pretty good are: La Loconda, Django, Figs and Matyson ( up to 8).

Thank you so much for the help. What is BYOB? I tried to google it and it came up with bring your own bottle, is this right?

We are in the age 25-40 and all of us have good jobs, but I want to celebrate in a more casual than formal place. So all the places you listed seem very good for us. Thanks again!

How about Continental Midtown? It has a fun, funky atmosphere. Can be a bit crowded, though, so I don%26#39;t know how well they would handle a group of 11.
