As cheesesteaks go I suggest Lee’s Deli in west Philly, simply the best cheesesteaks I’ve ever had. Failing that Carmen’s in reading terminal market in center city is awesome too. If you want a classic, archetypical cheesesteak though, go to any corner pizza shop. I always suggest getting provolone cheese, peppers, onions, and mushrooms.

You should also check out the Bok Bar, a roof top beer garden thing in south Philly walking distance from Pat’s and Geno’s with an outstanding view of the city.

Also in south Philly is “John’s Water Ice” if you want good quality, authentic Philly Italian ice.

While you are at the art museum remember that there are a few other top tier art museums in the area too, like the frankstitute.

If you like nice looking buildings 30th street train station is a really beauty and so is the central library on vine street. The art museum and 30th street station are actually connected by the river path which is a lovely walk.

Speaking of walking take some time to just walk around Rittenhouse (south west end of center city) and/or old city (eastern side of center city) and look at the pretty houses and cute neighborhoods. Some of the finest urbanism in America.

I hope you have a good time on your trip and don’t be shy about asking me more questions.
