Philly help please!

DH and I are planning a 3 night trip to Philly, and I need a little help! Not sure which area we were in, but last trip we stayed at the 4 Seasons. We ate at Barclay Prime, Continental, and El Vez. I need some more fun ideas for food, we are eaters and beer drinkers! Any new places we need to check out? Any great craft beer bars to hit? I'll take any advice you have! Thanks!

Re: Philly help please!
Triumph Brewery has a location in Philly. Victory Brewing is based out of Downingtown. River Horse is based out of Lambertville, NJ. Dogfish is from DE.
We had a fantastic meal at Amada for our anniversary in September. We've also been to Buddakan a few times and always enjoyed ourselves.
MH's favorite sandwich is a roast pork with spinach and provolone from DiNic's in Reading Terminal Market.
Marimoto's restaurant was fantastic. We had a great meal at Bellini's on 18th and you have to stop at the pickle store inside Reading Terminal. Real hot, sweet and kosher pickles in the old fashioned barrels... totally yummy.
We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott next to City Hall and had the typically chain hotel experience. Since it was for a wedding and we didn't spend any time at the hotel, it was just fine.
Brunch at the Four Seasons is phenominal.
If you're on the Parkway, you'll find some great craft beer bars in Fairmount, which is the neighborhood just north of the Art Museum//Ben Franklin Parkway.
Brigid's
The Bishop's Collar
Rembrandt's (their rogue burger is currently my favorite burger in town).
St. Stephen's Green
Yards and Philadelphia Brewing Company both brew in Philadelphia.

Fergie's Pub in Center City, a Philly must, has a great beer selection and on Saturdays a group of Irish musicians just shows up and jams from about 4 to 7pm.
Northern Liberties - the hipster 'hood - has North 3rd and The Standard Tap.
Almost every neighborhood has good beer bars, really, Philly is really a beer town these days.

What restaurants are on your mind, there are so many it's hard to make recs...
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
Are you going to be in Philly on a Saturday?
If so you should definitely go to the Philadelphia Brewing Company. They have free tours and tastings on Saturdays. You get 6 large tastings (I usually leave tipsy) and the tour is informative. It's not in center city, but not too far...you can take the el there or drive. It's definitely worth the trip.
Some other suggestions are Village Whiskey, 10 Arts, Chima, and Pub & Kitchen.
It's called City Tavern. We went there for lunch a few months ago. It was my husband's idea (he wanted to beer sampler) and I was seriously rolling my eyes at him because it felt super touristy, but my salad was surprisingly good. It was fun.

I actually love the Tavern Spruce.
