A Meal Ticket reader just checked in with the following holiday query:
I'm coming down to Philly to have brunch with my family on Thanksgiving Day. Do you happen to know any places (not near the parade) that have brunch on T-Day? Or just a good brunch spot in general, that's moderately priced ($15 per person)?
So what do you think, Meal Ticketers? A family-friendly Thanksgiving Day brunch-style meal that won't break the bank? Our first thought was that Morning Glory fits the criteria perfectly � except they're going to be closed on Thursday. Whatcha got?
Maybe Nam Phuong at 11th & Washington would work. I don't know for sure, but they are probably open. They have a full (and cheap) bar along with all those crazy Asian drinks.
BarryG: Good call. I actually ended up there last Thanksgiving, now that I think about it.
Hey- thanks for the feedback. I agree -- seems like brunches are booked, and that most people are doing turkey stuff (which isn't really what we're looking for). Dim Sum, or Mexican for lunch might be a more viable option. Preferably a place where drinking is encouraged, though. As I mentioned to Drew, we could spend more than $15, but the original destination was the Aramingo Diner, which is on the cheap side. But I'm open to suggestions.
I know National Mechanics will be open at 5pm. I realize that's late for brunch, but that pub is delicious.
We have been working on concierge requests for our customers for over a week. Quite honestly, I am surprised how few places are open this year. The places that are open are booked. For brunch at this point hotels would be the best bet but may be cost prohibitive for a $15 target. I have moved some people towards Dim Sum if that might be an option.
