During the day Michael Schulson's Double Knot is an artsy Center City coffee shop that serves a lunch menu of build-your-own Vietnamese-inspired banh mi, salads, and rice and noodle bowls. By night, the main floor transforms into a bar. Meanwhile, downstairs, the low-lit rooms beckon with sushi, edamame dumplings, duck scrapple bao, and kobe skewers.

The popularity of Old City as a dining destination ebbs and flows, but 20-year-old Fork remains a consistent draw with its sophisticated — but never stuffy — vibe and locally sourced, modern American fare.

Once David Chang's right hand, Peter Serpico came to Philly to open up shop on South Street. His eponymous restaurant has since proven to be one of the most innovative and beautiful spots around. Serpico displays a deft touch with unusual vegetable dishes like a mushroom tartare with fingerling potato chips and turns lasagna on its head with chicken, snails, and hazelnut pesto.

Standing with 887 feet of armor-plated steel, the 45,000-ton Battleship New Jersey dominates not only the New Jersey waterfront, but also American naval history. Winding through tight, narrow companionways, visitors get a firsthand look at the communication center, as well as the officers’ and enlisted men’s mess halls and sleeping quarters. Today the battleship is preserved as it was when it was decommissioned for the fourth and final time in 1991.
