From Center City to Main Line: Best of Style 2016

Culture Feature It's no secret that it's getting a lot harder to pick the best of, well, anything in Philadelphia. Ask someone to name their favorite place to get Italian gelato, organic pedicures, or custom window treatments and you will likely get three or four suggestions rather than just one glowing recommendation. We understand the struggle to play favorites and take a similar approach in compiling our annual Best of Style feature, offering a handful of buzzy winners that span not just categories but neighborhoods from Center City to the Main Line. As always, seven Philly notables give us their personal "bests" and—no surprise—they had a tough time narrowing down their top restaurants, locally owned boutiques, and secret city finds. Consider this entire Summer issue your own secret city find.
