Philadelphia is becoming quite the foodie town lately, but with all the brasseries and bistros popping up, this city is ripe for a solid old-fashioned pub that can make a damn good burger and fries.

Philly has that in the way of the recently opened Pub and Kitchen, a new Rittenhouse Square spot from chef Jonathan McDonald. Not that this is any sort of dingy neighborhood dive--just like its freaky rabbit-pig hybrid logo, Pub and Kitchen manages to be all things to all people: Laid-back enough for most Philly locals, but with just a little bit of foodie flair that brings in the bistro crowd too.

If Pub and Kitchen were just a little more pretentious, it would surely be billed as a gastropub (in addition to the burger, there are some trendier menu items, like a lobster BLT with truffled mayo). But it's just chill enough that you feel at home kicking back with fish and chips and a few pints.
