Our PERFECT Day in Philadelphia! Cheesesteak SHOWDOWN, Delicious Local Food Tour & More! 🤤

[@ianmcnamara2817]

As a person who has and currently live in Philly for 8 years, you def hit all the touristy quick stop spots. I would HIGHLY recommend you comeback to Philly and try out our Restaurant Scene. I believe we have some of the best restaurants in the world here.

Pat and Geno’s are tourist traps. There are much better cheesesteaks in Philadelphia.

[@jkhoover]

There it is! I knew I was going to find this comment.

[@vonslagle]

Ishkabibbles and Tony Luke’s

[@Mandolynn86]

See someone mentioned it, I was going to ask about Ishkabibbles, that’s where my friend who has lived in Philly his whole life took me and my friends when we visited.

[@Elizabeth-foolishmortal]

Gino’s is better than Pat’s but neither is as good as the local shops.

[@sarahcrandall6290]

I rather Jersey Mike's Philly cheesesteak over pat and Geno's 😂

[@jimpyke680]

I am from Australia and visited Philly in 2017, by far my favourite place we visited in the USA. Managed to try 6 different cheesesteaks in the 7 days we were there

[@passingthroughtime3033]

Sounds wonderful. Philadelphia has a lot of history and great food.

[@matador677]

I live in Lancaster and go to Philly twice a year. Walkable, great bars, really solid food, and is the birthplace of America. What else do you need?

[@obligatorytraveler8292]

I'm a Philly local. Nice job guys. I'm always trying to get people to visit since I think it's a cool, underrated, city. I've done a bit of traveling and donut trying and Beiler's is still my favorite donut place. Once at DiNics a guy next to me opened the sandwich and exclaimed, "That's one sexy sandwich" everyone laughed. Now I'm legally obligated to say what my favorite cheesesteak is - John's Roast Pork cheesesteak with fried onions and American cheese. Thanks for visiting Philly.

[@peacekelly1128]

I lived in Philly for three years as a kid, and I never once had either one of those cheesesteaks. I went to an Italian deli across the street from where we lived. I’m sure I had them from a few other places, but they were probably local neighborhoods. Those are definitely about the tourism. I feel extremely old the first time I saw the Liberty Bell was in 1972. Lol! Thank you I have good memories from my time living there.

[@jeffgolden253]

1972 is the year I moved to the Philadelphia area, and its the year I first saw the Liberty Bell too. Back then it was in the attic of Independence Hall, and you had to go up a very narrow staircase to get to it. I think only about a dozen people could fit up there at one time. Now the Liberty Bell is in a multi-million dollar pavilion and tourists (but not locals) wait in long lines to get in. I don't know why. Its just a cracked bell. And you could see it by just looking in the window.

[@ruby055]

Dalessandro's, Max's, Sonny's, Campos or perhaps Woodrow's are the best Steaks in Philly today.

[@KOLDKUMA]

YUHURRRRRD!!

[@franksindoneii5410]

Lmao these are actually horrible pics. You aren’t from Philly if you still think Dels is good lmao. Also maxes is so horrible and Sonny’s and campos haven’t been good for a decade. Big L

[@Digitalknifeparty]

Angelo’s Pizzeria has the best cheesesteak

[@homeoftek5844]

​@@franksindoneii5410All of these cheesesteak spots are popular. You're just saying that because tourists don't go up North lol

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

I never get tired of watching these videos. Thanks for taking us along.

[@TeutonicNordwind]

Pat's and Gino's is the "famous" rivalry for cheesesteaks but there are others well worth the trip and arguably just as good. Jim's Steaks at corner of South and S 4th is the bomb. Always a big line, even weekdays. If you like US History, Valley Forge National Historical Park in PA is pretty cool. If not for the regrouping and training that happened there that winter ('1777/'78) - and amidst mass starvation, frostbite, disease and death, the Continental Army may not have beaten the British. It truly was a turning point/pivotal moment in the War of Independence.

[@genebalinski645]

Valley Forge is an incredible take. Wonderful place to walk. Miles of trails . They actually have one of George Washington's tents

[@jenniferherman8807]

Totally agree about Jim’s on South St. On your next pass through, definitely stop there- it’s the best! Also, not cheesesteak related, but check out the Morning Glory Diner for brunch!!😊

[@dantefratto9382]

I agree with Jim's Steaks. Unfortunately, they are temporally closed due to a fire over the summer.

[@onedaycloser2872]

I agree with Jim’s….

[@SuperStarDIY]

That almost brought tears to my eyes! So grateful to be an American! 🇺🇸

[@gomerasub]

The Liberty Bell was cast in the same foundry as Big Ben, in Whitechapel, London.

[@chef221g]

Finally you guys made it to Philly. I hope you enjoyed my hometown. Great time of year to be here as well. Happy new year all the best

[@JohnnyG60]

Jim’s Steaks and John’s roast pork are the stops to make :)

[@BOBSCOTTONLINE]

Glad you got a taste of Philly - A+ on Dinic's pork sandwich - will give you a "tourist pass" on the Pat's Geno's b.s. - next visit go to John's Roast Pork (JRP) or Angelo's for what those who know eat - all close by too. Thanks for stopping.

You'll always know who us Philly people are because we always have a lot of opinions about our cheese steaks 😂

Emma Ferrin so true and it seems all of us Philly people have the same opinion of Pat's and Geno's! 😆

[@chi7072]

steve's prince of steaks is the fucken jawn

[@larryepling]

Not from Philly but I've learned there are way better spots than Pats or Geno's lol

[@victoriaesten644]

I legit said oh no, they fell into the trap. I did, once, too when I was working down the street from there many years ago. I tried it out, called it eh and went right back to only ordering them from a place right around the block from us. I'm also one of those who don't understand peppers on a cheesesteak, never ate it that way as a kid, only wit wiz and onions.

[@emmaferrin6815]

I like to think of Pat's and Geno's as entryway establishments into the yummy world of cheese steaks. Good enough, but there's better out there

[@lorettafoster783]

You picked the best place for a pork sandwich and donuts. We live in South Philly now too far from Pat’s and Genoa’s and don’t really like either. When we show of our beautiful city, we make sure our guests eat their way through the cit. you didn’t even hit the tip of the iceberg. Come back and really enjoy this city 16:42

Great tour of Philly. There is so much to do in the city and it was hard to fit everything that we did in our Philly video too. If you go back to Philly for some food, you should check out Termini Brothers Bakery. It has been around since the 20s and they are famous for their cannolis.

Just so you know the Declaration House (aka the Graff House) at 7th and Market Sts. where the Declaration of Independence was penned was rebuilt for the 1976 Bicentennial. In the 1950's and 1960's on the site was the Tom Thumb hot dog stand.

Awwwww!!! Chills!!! You made it to Philly!!! (I've lived here 5 years now...) And you made it to one of my favorite places on the planet (and a HUGE reason I moved here...) - Reading Terminal Market!!! And you had two of the things that are the reason I go there (and will get every time I go) - Dinic's roast pork, and Beiler's maple bacon donuts!!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Many people don't know how many yummy roast pork sandwiches there are around Philly, so I'm glad you got to do both - roast pork, and cheesesteak. Thank you also for the gorgeous city skyline footage!!! (P.S. To anyone who is going to go try the donuts, lemon is also veeeery good - the lemon flavor is very bright! ENJOY!!!)

While in the Center City area a tour is not complete unless you walk down boathouse row along the river and see all the paddlers, parks and the like. Super cool place, a sunny spring day is the play.

As a person who grew up in Philly (Mt Airy primarily & later Overbrook) there are better cheesesteaks than Geno's and Pat's. Some of the best are local around the way places. You just have to know somebody who knows.

[@southpond]

Welcome to Philly! I live near Rittenhouse Square in Center City! If you have time, check out happy hour at the Dandelion Pub at the corner of 18th and Sansom Streets. So I have to edit this post, since obviously you had already left Philly by the time I posted my comment above. Anyway, I hope you come back to spend more time here, because the thing that gets up the ire of anyone from Philly is the notation that outsiders think we are not known for anything other than the liberty bell and cheesesteaks, which is most most certainly not the case! This city is so much more than those two things, and actually as a life long Philly resident, I have only visited the liberty bell once and rarely eat cheesesteaks! LOL I'd invite you to view the recently posted Philly episode of "Somebody Feed Phil" over on Netflix to get just a small sampling of what the true dining scene here is like! You missed so much!

[@SanzL1]

Glad that you enjoyed your time in my city! Come back!! Happy New Year to you both! ❤️

[@spedzu]

I was in Philly for a conference the first weekend of December. I experienced the Center City with the Christmas Market at the City Hall and the Reading Terminal Market. I got my cheesesteak in the market. I didn't have the time to explore much of the city due to the time constraints of the conference and lack of daylight. I did go to Independence Hall and the National Constitution Center. Philadelphia is a neat place to go for a social studies teacher. I enjoy watching your travels! I wish you all the best in the next year!

[@unpackedwithmac]

Awww I went to Philly last year and loved it! Bringing back all the memories!!

[@pattieodonnell723]

Glad you got to the Reading Terminal Market - such a gem, and we were afraid it would go under during Covid. As for the proper cheesesteak: ugh, no Cheese Whiz. Provolone 100% and mushrooms (if you like them) or sauteed onions to make them less dry.

Toooo Funny, when you said you were going into the Reading terminal I instantly said "good luck" out loud... It is by far the most overwhelming place, especially at Christmas time. Wish I would have given my thoughts on another spot to go in the historic area. Unless they closed it, the bar that George Washington and Benjamin Franklin himself is still standing and we (a while ago) sat in the same booths as they did. Had some wickedly amazing hot rum cider they brewed... Glad you got to experience the town of brotherly love. So much to do.... Have a great Holiday and Happy New Year!

[@TheRudymentryGuide]

Hey campers! As a former PA native, I'll just share this. Kudos on the market (bonus credit on the doughnut), and you did the Liberty Bell and Declaration House justice - no pun intended. Now - the bad part. You fell into THE Philly tourist trap: Geno's vs. Pat's, and you sacrificed your bowels for... a cheesesteak? Philly and Pittsburgh (including Erie) are like night and day. But you missed a commonly overlooked area: Pennsyl-tucky, the place in-between, including Hershey's for chocoholics, or Sturgis Pretzels in Lititz, or the Strasburg Railroad (and we know how much Eric likes trains!) - and you're missing out on Hersheypark at Christmas AND a Dicken's Christmas at the Mt. Hope Estate and Winery (for wine folks like Allison). Lot's of stuff in a short area! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year! Love the Black Series, and if you are ever in coastal Georgia looking for place crash - we have you! Safe Travels!
