FYI Philly

A feeding frenzy around Philly neighborhoods

Monday, April 9, 2018

This weekend on FYI, it's a feeding frenzy around the city. We're checking out new restaurants and brewpubs in Center City, the neighborhoods and the suburbs. Plus we dive into Philadelphia's Magazine guide for best brunches.
