The 5 Best Restaurants in Philadelphia
Jul 26, 2011
The best restaurants in Philadelphia aren't just about cheesesteak. Sure, there are plenty of steak joints, but the best restaurants in Philadelphia serve a wide range of cuisine, from ethnic fusion to quick sandwiches.
The Best Cheesesteak in Philly
Jul 26, 2011
Cheesesteak is Philly's signature dish, and several restaurants claim to have the best cheesesteak in Philly. Try them and you'll enjoy a sandwich of thin rib-eye steak slices, your choice of melted cheese (get the Cheez Wiz), and grilled onions that makes cheesesteak such a tasty treat.
Dining in Philadelphia
Like any vibrant, well-visited major metropolitan area, Philadelphia restaurants offer a huge choice in dining experiences, from the classic Philly Cheese Steak to some of the finest cuisine in the world. Whether it’s Center City, Chinatown, Germantown, Old City, Rittenhouse Square, Society Hill, South Philly, University City or particularly South Street, dining haunts are there for the enjoying.
For a Philadelphia dining experience that truly captures the spirit of the city, enjoy the sumptuous cuisine of Moshulu, located on the largest four-masted sailing ship in the world still afloat by the same name, moored about two blocks south of Penn’s Landing.
Whatever you’re in the mood for, Philadelphia restaurants will satisfy your craving.
