The City of Brotherly Love (ha-ha)

PHILLY SITE STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

Hope we do GREAT next season!!
Since I do (in a way) live in Philly, I know a lot about it. Philadelphia is a HUGE city, yet not quite as big as New York. The people there are somewhat friendly, and the area has a very urban feel to it. The Old City (Ben Franklin House, Independance Hall, etc.) is really my LEAST favorite part of the city, is very overrated, and does not show the true feel of the city. Areas such as Center City, Manayunk, North Philly, and the Northeast (as examples) are the real places where you get the flavour of this wonderful, large city.

 I go to the center city location frequently and it is not at all expensive. It's very good traditional Italian (not americanized Italian like many chains are) for a low price due to the family style cuisine. $30-$40 for two people.
