Percy

Diner$$

After the original swanky-retro-lounge vibe fell flat, the Forín team rebranded Percy as “A Philadelphia Diner” and stacked the menu with more affordable all-day comfort-food favorites like disco fries, double smash burgers, big breakfast sandos and cinnamon-crusted ricotta pancakes. Breakfast’s star is the $11 Philly Grand Slam, with two eggs and home fries plus bacon, duck sausage, and a ricotta pancake for an additional charge. For dinner consider the fried chicken Reuben or the elevated meatloaf served with a red wine jus, whipped potatoes, and purple cauliflower.
