About Philadelphia
City overview
Philadelphia sits between the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, with the colonial street grid of Old City, Center City's towers, South Philly rowhouses, University City campuses, and Fishtown's nightlife all close enough for a transit-heavy weekend. The city is strongest where U.S. founding history, art museums, markets, murals, and neighborhood food overlap.
Food & drink
Philadelphia food is sandwich-and-market specific: cheesesteaks griddle shaved beef with cheese on a long roll, roast pork sandwiches add broccoli rabe and sharp provolone, soft pretzels are twisted and salty, tomato pie is served at room temperature, and water ice is the summer dessert stop. Reading Terminal Market is the easiest first stop, while South Philly's Pat's vs. Geno's vs. Angelo's debate, the Italian Market's taquerias, and hoagie shops give the sharper food map.
