Fans throw batteries at Santa Claus

Eagles are lovely but they beat the Pats so also they are good

Cheese steak sandwich is hella good

Number One I order you to take a number two.

Philadelphia brand cream cheese was actually created in New York. It was named Philadelphia as a marketing move because at the time the city was considered more posh and cultured than New York. :laugh:

- And rightly so, you should've joined them.

There are more potholes than people.

- Those are cobblestone streets you idiot.

I took an Amtrak there and the return trip was delayed 36 hours.

- You spent 36 hours not being in a shithole you're from.

I've tried a few cheesesteaks from different places and the only difference between the cheesesteaks in Philly vs everywhere else on earth is that they cost 2x in Philly.

- Nothing is sacred with you, you fuckin heathen.

On the plus side I smelled weed smoke everywhere. The Mutter museum loving rules. Overall three stars.

Speaking as someone from Cherry Hill, the worst parts of Philadelphia are because of people from Cherry Hill.

Except for M. Night Shamylan. You guys are responsible for that shitshow.

Lots of all night diners, food carts that serve breakfast food, luncheonettes, counter serve places where you buy a sandwich while standing on the sidewalk, a million delis and corner stores that serve breakfast, many small bakeries that make amazing rolls of all kinds, and the fact that they have two breakfast meats that are unique to the area.

It’s not the best city for anything in particular but the ratio of good to bad restaurants in philly is crazy high. You have to live in the absolute worst parts of North Philly before you can’t walk to a good rear end meal.

Remember the Philadelphia Experiment, when Albert Einstein built a big invisible boat but instead of turning invisible, it teleported to New York, then traveled 30 minutes into the future and then back to Philadelphia, but when it returned there the sailors were different. Some were dead and fused to the hull. That's the kind of thing that happens in Philadelphia.

There is also a kind of cream cheese called Philadelphia cream cheese even though that too is from New York.

Just some facts about Philadelphia.

All the famous spots are just okay and not worth the tourist price hikes and I've had cheesesteaks in like Louisiana that were as good as the best here, like most food reputations tied to locations that aren't based on ethnicity (ie Indian food is gonna be better in Indian or Indian communities) it's kind of nonsense.

Besides, if there's one thing Philly has going for it, it's the immense variety of restaurants, going to get a boring rear end cheese steak when you have Godly Ethiopian here, banging Indian there, pub food that is baller as poo poo, and like Brazillian steakhouses and slamming BBQ, acting like a cheese steak is the culinary highlight of this city is totally beat.

We can't tell you where the best one is because it depends, do you want peppers and cheese whiz? or do you want like an actual sandwich an adult might eat, with meat, light onions, and provelone.

Real talk I've eaten thousands of cheesesteaks in my life but my personal favorite is the vegan Chicken Cheesesteak from Govinda's in Center City on 22nd or so and you have to order it with pepper steak gravy. It's a truly legendary cheesesteak despite containing no animals.

The best NON-cheeseteak sandwich in philly is the Chicken Maroosh from a family owned muslim diner on 45th and walnut. I still dream of this sammy 3 years after moving and if i ever go back i promise itll be my first stop. They are closed for the entirety of Ramadan and I have been burned so, so badly drunkenly biking across town for one without realizing I can't get my sandwhich because of loving Alah, such bullshit.

You could be talking about at least 3 places and they’d all be right answers, but for my money the White Trash in South Philly is some truly next level face-tattoo havinest grime.

I would agree that South Philly methheads are probably the most dangerous species of Philadelphian, with UPenn frat dudes and Off-Duty North Philly cops both being tied for second.

Philly is America's fifth largest city, Boston is the size of loving El Paso. You can't compare the two they're not in the same category by any means. Boston is some local town, Philadelphia is a world city. Charlotte North Carolina has way more people than Boston.
