University City can finally welcome Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar to the former Marathon Grill location on 40th and Walnut. Created by Dave “Doc” Magrogran, this second location of Harvest (the first being in Philadelphia suburb Glen Mills) is host to a delicious and health-conscious menu, with dishes sourced from local sustainable farms. Led by Executive Chef Anthony DiPascale, Harvest’s menu is full of hearty salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, and seafood/meat entrees perfect for any foodie and all under 500 calories a plate!

With beautiful decor, an upstairs bar area, and plenty of seating and dining spaces on two floors and an outside deck, the new Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar is a great addition to the residents of University City. With over 500 guests dining and drinking at last Thursday’s VIP preview party, I was able to capture some of the guests as they wined and dined at Magrogran’s “favorite sustainable, seasonal, and health-conscious restaurant.”

Harvest Seasonal Grille and Wine Bar is located at 200 S. 40^th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19195 (corner of 40^th and Walnut Streets) and is open daily starting at 11 am. For more information or reservations, please call 215-662-1100 or visit http://harvestseasonalgrill.com/.
