FSPR headquarters is located on South Street in Graduate Hospital just below Rittenhouse Square. While our end of South Street is quieter than the other side of Broad, there’s plenty of spots the team frequents within a five-minute walk of the office. Whether it’s for happy hour, lunch, or a pick-me-up between tasks, the team loves heading to these local spots:

Loco Pez

Recently opened on 20th and Bainbridge, Loco Pez’s third outpost is a very welcome addition to the neighborhood. We love their happy hour – half off drafts and nachos, $4 classic margs (which you can get with sugar, salt, or a tangy chili-lime rim) and $20 margarita pitchers (to nourish the whole team). Keep an eye on their Instagram (which we obviously do) to take advantage of their dollar taco night, which changes weekly. 

Ten Stone

For the Food Shelter team, Ten Stone is old reliable. It’s the closest bar to the office and is quiet on weekdays, has pool and is the perfect place to grab a beer or gin and tonic and blow off steam after work.

Parc

Looking for something a little Français? You’ve probably heard of Parc, aptly named for its great views of Philly’s most Parisian public space, Rittenhouse Square. Sit outside on a sunny day with a basket of pommes frites and a glass of rose and you’ll truly feel like you’re in the 7th arrondissement (just make sure to not look *too* hard)! 

Randazzo’s Pizzeria

When we’re craving pizza, Randazzo’s is the local pick for a quick slice, and their pizzas are always ready in no time. Did we mention their Caesar salad comes with garlic knots IN it? 

Pub and Kitchen

You know it’s a Friday night if you see the FSPR team at Pub and Kitchen for happy hour! Our team frequently heads over between 4 and 6 PM to take advantage of their deals, like a $7 Moscow Mule (very refreshing!) or a $6 glass of wine. A few team members always opt for a Negroni.

Wawa

Last, but certainly not least. Wawa, Philadelphia’s, and Food Shelter’s most beloved convenience store, has to be mentioned on this list. Whether it’s a 44 oz. iced tea, a Sizzli or the FSPR top-rated “chicken finger hoagie”, you are most likely run into team members here on the daily.  Shout out to the employees at the 21st and South Wawa, we love you.
