Mission

Tiny Table Tours aims to celebrate the many communities that make Philadelphia a vibrant place to live and eat. To that end, our tours are curated to highlight businesses owned by members of historically marginalized communities. Every business has actively chosen to participate in our tours and the tickets are priced so those businesses are compensated fairly.

Beyond offering Philadelphians and visitors alike a chance to get to know the wonderful restaurants, cafes, and bars that make this city tick, we seek to understand and deepen neighborhood ties within Philadelphia by documenting and sharing the stories of the people who own these businesses. We are aware of the forces of gentrification in the city and hope that our tours will encourage residents and visitors alike to spend money at independent businesses owned by people who live and work in Philadelphia, rather than chains or corporate restaurant groups.
