Cheesesteaks and Knishes dont travel well. Come to Philly for the first, stay in New York and order an Egg Cream for the second.
Tourist: Gotta say you went to 9th and Passayunk to taste test Geno's and Pat's. Get off the Academy bus tour and get in line.
Going to see the Iggles, John's for the pulled Pork with Provolone and broc. rabe. At the Iggles, I guess Tony Luke's, better a dog and beer.
Why would you want to ever go to Roxborough other than Delassandro's?
Taking a stroll down where do all the Hippies meet, South Street, Jim's of course
Just the most fun, Reading Terminal, sure its not a cheesesteak, but its a heck of a terrific sandwich, DInic's pulled pork with rabe. Get a cinammon bun from the Amish ladies for dessert and bring back to New York all sorts of goodies from the three hours spent at the Terminal.
And, when In Philadelphia, dont be wearing no Giants colors and dont be ordering no Doc Brown CelRay. Ever.
