The Morris House is a restaurant Bermuda Triangle. Can the new Soufiane finally break the curse? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Morris House Hotel has always had the bones to host a hit restaurant. Its Georgian-style brick buildings boast some genuine historic character dating back to 1787, when the Consitution was being written just a few blocks away. Thereâs a gracious courtyard oasis tucked behind an iron gate with room for 75 diners beneath a garland-draped tent ringed by dogwood and magnolia trees. A cozy indoor space with room for 45 more beside that garden and a plush bar offer a dramatic view through red cu

The little bird of an idea to open a restaurant circled the blue skies of Fred Mogulâs imagination for many years while he was preoccupied with other passions. The first few decades of his career were spent in journalism, working in print and wire services from Nebraska to Jerusalem, then in public radio as a news reporter, first at WHYY, followed by 18 years at WNYC in New York.

Given the name, itâs no surprise that the soups are fantastic at Phá» Duyên, a tiny four-year-old corner restaurant with an open kitchen at Fifth and Snyder in South Philly. Chef Duyên Leâs beef rendition of Vietnamâs famous phá» comes with an impressive bouquet of herbs on a side plate (not just the usual Thai basil, but also perilla, rau ram, culantro, and mint). Its crystal-clear dark broth, swirling with star anise and other spices, is dappled with droplets of molten fat for extra
Strong drinks and small plates set BAR ilu and Grace & Proper apart in Phillyâs buzzy bar scene (opens the original)

There are few Spanish bar snacks as satisfying â or so hotly debated â as a properly made tortilla Española. If youâre lingering in the hot southern cities of Andalusia, where the iconic potato-and-onion omelet is typically served room temperature or cold, the eggs are fully set. âBut from Madrid north to Basque Country, itâs traditionally made to order and served warm and custardy,â says Patrick Iselin, 50, the co-owner of BAR ilu, who spent half his childhood in Spain and now spli
