The Terrace at 13
The Terrace at 13 located inside the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown is going to be hopping this summer. Philadelphia has dozens of incredible and fun restaurants that become even more lively in the nice weather, including The Terrace at 13. Last night Leslie and I went to taste their new seasonal menu on behalf of uwishunu, for whom we both write.

The new menu brings festive flavors from around the world to the city, and highlights include shrimp pizza ($7), Octopus Ceviche ($4), & Chicken Banh-mi ($2.5 each). My favorite was the shrimp pizza, with just the right amount of garlic (sorry, Kath) and lots of bright vegetables.

While the appetizer specials were great, the special cocktails really made the place different. Eric & Leslie enjoyed The Candy Man cocktails ($4) which have Sky Raspberry Vodka, Simple Syrup, Club Soda and are garnished with fancy rock candy that turns the drinks different colors. Also delicious is the sangria, priced reasonably at $4/glass. It tasted so light and refreshing I wish I had gotten a glass of my own! There are a few other fun drink specials all priced from $2-$4. In. The. City. It is so so reasonable.

I had a glass of the Snap Dragon Cabernet ($3) which was so good that tasting a sip turned into the whole glass. I may have been a little tipsy on wine and a good time!

This summer The Terrace at 13 will again participate in Center City Sips along with many other Philadelphia establishments. I can’t wait for a summer of Wednesday fun! Head on over for a shrimp pizza and candy man cocktail! See you there!
The Terrace at 13 is located at 1201 Market Street Philadelphia, PA 19107 - (215) 625-6795

The rock candy drinks look so cool! I want one. Maybe I can find rock candy and make those at home.

@kate, Thanks! It’s from a small boutique in Cranston, RI called Sonya’s but the designer is “shin choi”

The rock candy drinks look so cute. I wish a restaurant in NC would make something cute and fun like that

Those drinks look super cool!

Hey there! I’m new to your blog and LOVING it! Wow, although it makes me sound like an alcoholic, I am SO impressed by the price (and style) of those drinks! $3 for a glass of wine?! I need to move!

@Therese, Hi! Thanks for your comment! I am impressed by the price too- It is a special for the summer. I will be going there often with those prices!

Talk about a great deal! I’m a fan of that restaurant — PhillyGuy and I got married at the Marriott, and we had more than a couple meals at 13 while we discussed details, setup and all that good stuff. I’m not usually a specialty-drink kind of person, but those martinis are adorable!

Mmm, all that food looks amazing!

sabrina – that pic at the end of you is LOVELY!
