More of a bar, but a hidden gem with AMAZING and interestingly classy bar food options. Can't go wrong with the brunch menu either! Vegan items on the menu. Wonderful hamburger and vegan burger. Vegan scrapple hash is my favorite brunch option!

The original inventor of the cheesesteak! We encourage guests to try one from Pat's one from Geno's. We prefer Pat's as Geno's has been known to be outwardly racist. They are both open 24 hours. Honestly, the taste of the flaky well-cooked fries and soft baked bread puts Pat's at the top of my list as far as those two options for a cheesesteak. The "Real Tourist Experience." If you want the BEST cheesesteak in Philly you'll check out Ishkabibbles, they have two locations on South Street. I have a link for them as well!
