The Ultimate Guide to Philadelphia’s Food Scene

Now, it’s no secret that Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is one of the greatest cities in America — maybe even perhaps the world — and while we’re huge fans of some of the most popular tourist attractions Philly has to offer, it can be easy to get bogged down by the most popular spots. Don’t get us wrong: We think everyone should visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art and run up the Rocky Steps at least once in their lives, but there’s so much more to do while you’re in town.

Philly is a melting pot full of diverse neighborhoods, storied history, and (of course) plenty of fun things to do. From breweries and professional sports games to historical tours, sightseeing, and much more, there are plenty of great ways to have a good time in the City of Brotherly Love. However, there’s one thing you need to do while you’re in town, and we won’t take no for an answer: You need to sample some of the delicious local cuisine!
