"This year, we asked more than 180 food and travel journalists from across the globe to nominate their favorite restaurants, bars, bakeries, markets, cities, hotels, airports, airlines, and cruises around the world," according to the publication. "We then entrusted that feedback to an expert panel of judges to rank each category’s winners."
Philadelphia got recognition in two categories: the "15 Top Bars in the US," and the "10 Top US Cities for Bakeries."
First, let's look at which Philly bar earned the accolade. Andra Hem at 218 S. 16th St. was ranked No. 15 on the top bar list.
"Andra Hem is a proper drinks lounge, pure and simple. The aesthetic is clean yet warm; formal yet approachable," Brad Japhe writes. "The Lambhattan is a curious standout take on the classic American whiskey drink spiced up with lamb-washed bourbon. It sounds bizarre, yet works oh so well."

And for bakeries, Philadelphia's plentiful offerings landed it at No. 10 among the 10 best cities for bakeries.
