Parking lot at 13th and Market on the north-west corner. Then just walk south one block to Chestnut. You also keep your car keys at that parking lot.

Park in the wannamaker building where lord and taylor used to be (now is Macy's I think).

I love Fogo.  Boy I gotta get back there.

They have Valet parking if you don't mind using that.

Is this the place where they keep bringing you food until you flip a card in front of your plate or something?

I think it is.  My uncle ate there before, told me the food was AWESOME.

Good suggestions already given.

However, if you're looking for a slightly cheaper alternative I would try the indoor parking lot at Thomas Jefferson University.   I used to live right around the corner from them, and they had the cheapest parking rates. Probably because they are technically a nonprofit or something.  It's been a few years since I lived in that hood but you could park 24 hours for $10 in the late 1990s.  

The garage is on 11th Street just south of Walnut.  You'd have to walk a few blocks more than the other lots mentioned.

EDIT:  Forget it ... I just checked Google Maps and it appears the place is under construction.  I know Google Maps is not totally current but it's not worth saving a few bucks just to find out the place is closed for construction!

Yes it is.  Fogo de Chao

A vendor we do business with in Houston thinks I'm nuts because I used to make them take me there everytime I was down.  Been a couple years now...so I'm really looking forward to Philly.

Thanks for the parking help everyone.

Been a while since I was there, but it's a fixed price ... $35 for lunch, $5x for dinner.

Just there Saturday night...$49.50.  You can get just the salad bar for $25, but what's the point of that! Group of 12 of us went...and all agreed it was awesome!

Also, parking at a nearby garage was $14...valet was $18...friend of mine parked at a meter for $4.

^^ Yep, Philly just doubled their parking meter rates.  Up until this month it was $1/hr.  Now it's $2/hr.  In the summer of 2009 it is rumored to go up to $3/hr.

Hell, even Chicago only charges you $0.25/hr.
