Brats and Beer Outdoors- Menu Preview

The Independence Fresco Cafe, right across the lawn  from the Liberty Bell,  has opened for the season, this time with  a more elaborate menu and an alcohol license. Beer and bratwurst sounds like a great lunch to me.

Though I haven’t gotten to eat there yet, here is a look at the menu after the jump.
