You read that right. Philly's Le Castagne offers the most decadent meal in town, testing the limits of both belts and wallets in Center City.

With a boatload of retail and culinary vendors, this shopping extravaganza should be on your holiday to-do list.

To celebrate 12/12/12, a five-course lunch does the trick. If you're worried about the world ending before Christmas, devour all the luscious treats you can at the restaurant's "End of the World" dinner.

PLUS: Where to find a Feast of Seven Fishes dinner, Mexican in Manayunk, and more.

Though the menu's small in size, it's big on taste. You won't find pizza this close to its European counterpart anywhere else this side of the Atlantic.

Bursting with flavor and fragrance, the gorgeous Indian fare is worth the drive. And with multiple locations, it won't be a long one, either.

From the city to the Main Line, there are options for those looking to dine out on the holiday.

Cozy up to the fireplace and make everyone's favorite gooey treat to spark some holiday cheer.

No need to bake for the holiday, just call in an order for one of Garces' delicious pies.

PLUS: HotHouse Coffee, O-Toro and Harvest in University City open their doors, while Aperto closes in Narberth.
