Square 1682: Dining and Imbibing Out of the Box
Square 1682 is two stories of contemporary style, chic and urban ecology, situated in Philadelphia's charismatic City Center neighborhood. The restaurant's name is a tribute to nearby Rittenhouse Square and William Penn's amazing foresight. Pennsylvania's famous founding father created the precursor to the modern-day city park with Rittenhouse and four others in 1682. Inside the LEED-certified restaurant - Philadelphia's first - you'll find a modern design aesthetic, including an abundance of artisan cocktails, wines and beers; a towering glass wine display punctuated with progressive art; an exhibition kitchen where New American cooking introduces a world of flavors that comes together on more than 40 shareable plates; and a vibe that blends casual and cosmopolitan into a distinct cool.

Chef Guillermo Tellez Gets Global
His 20-year restaurant résumé - from the famed Charlie Trotter empire to Philadelphia's own celebrated Starr Restaurant Organization - doesn't fully account for the early years. At 13, Chef Tellez began traveling the world and encountered flavors that influence his cuisine to this day. Tellez's more traditional style of cooking is informed by modern technique and infused with creative flavor combinations distilled from his wide-roaming culinary ventures. "These influences, these flavors, shape my food - you'll see it and taste it on the Square 1682 menu," he said.
