Bareburger is yet another option for burgers in the ever growing Philadelphia burger dining scene.  There are a plethora of delicious burgers to choose from and Bareburger is another contender.  The first store opened in NYC and Bareburger has been growing and expanding since then.  They focus on organic meats and have offerings that are sometimes a little harder to come by such as: elk, bison, goat, turkey, wild boar, along with vegetarian options.  This does raise the price point a bit, but I imagine this is not unexpected for those interested in trying Bareburger out.  Like most of the burger places, they offer milkshakes, soda, and alcoholic beverages. 

As I'm personally on a quest to make the Bloody Mary an any time beverage, I had one with my burger.  For Bloody Mary fans, the Bareburger version comes with pickles.  Lastly, I also would recommend sampling their various in-house made sauces as they were quite delicious with the onion rings, sweet potato and standard fries.

Brunch at Figs is BYOB.  I highly recommend bringing some champagne for bruncb.  The food as usual is very good.
 

Later that day I went to my first Philadelphia Union game.  The burger at the stadium was actually quite delicious and a great value for Stadium food.

I stopped by Lemon Hill after London Grill for dinner. Good food per usual.  The complimentary hush puppies have been replaced with an olive loaf, but other than that the menu is the same with plenty of good options to choose from.  I tried the lamb sloppy joe for the first time and it was tasty. 
We had the same waiter we usually see and he is always ready to make recommendations regarding beer, wine, and cocktails and is very knowledgeable.

Strangelove's is a relatively new restaurant in the Washington Square neighborhood.  They offer a large selection of beers with a balanced menu for vegetarians and meat lovers a-like.   Food was good and the space is interesting and unique.

Finally checked out Rouge for brunch.  I am aware that its not exactly cheap but it is located in the heart of Rittenhouse and provides great outdoor seating to people watch while enjoying your meal.  My eggs benedict was well done and my friend's Rouge Burger was executed properly and delicious.  The cocktails were good and my bloody mary definitely had an extra kick of spiciness which I appreciated.
