Philly Eats

I don't mean to offend but what is the big deal?

True, I didn't eat it with Whiz (Cheese, that is) like the locals but I found the whole thing dry and unremarkable.  My cousin, Jason, agreed with me.  He only eats cheesesteak when visitors come to town.  I had a great time catching up with Jason.  He also took me to a cozy cafe in his neighborhood.  

I had an hour or so on my own and discovered the Reading Market.  It is your basic indoor farmer's market and offers all kinds of treats.  

I stumbled upon Dinic's.  The line was long (always a good sign).  And the pulled pork  sandwich with broccoli rabe and provolone was delicious.

  
For dessert, I had a cannoli.  God, it was good.


Philadelphia is like the poor cousin of Boston.  It's got a real neighborhood feel and the streets  are filled with people walking about, headed to work, yelling obscenities on the phone, fighting with their girlfriend.  Very lively place.
