Where to eat in Philly?

[Soundwave13]

The wife & I are taking off early from work to drive down to Philly...

Gotta stop at Holts & pick something nice up for the evening... Gonna hit a couple of shops, walk around South St. & go to a Nine Inch Nails concert in the evening.... Oh yeah.

I wanted to know if anyone has any recomendations for some good eats in Philly?

Thia, good vegetarian, Italian, cafe, etc...? (The wife is vegetarian.)

I wanna try & keep it <$30 ea.

:driving: :widemouth:lady: :guitar: :smokingbo :thumbsup:

Pat's King of Steaks. On Passyunk. Geno's is right across the street. I don't think they do vegetarian cheese steaks though.

Hilarious - Maybe next time I want gut-rot & can take a nap right after...
LOL... The best cheese-steak sandwiches are NOT in Philly.
Nothin says romance like sauce stains down the front of your shirt...

Bump.

Will be leaving early/mid-afternoon...

Those were my two suggestions as well, but only because the were on Diners, Dives, and Drive-ins.

Pat's and Geno's are OK for Cheesesteaks, but Tony Luke's is better.

If you going to Holt's, walk a couple of blocks away (like 2) and you'll find a good mexican restaurant called El Vez. http://www.elvezrestaurant.com/ It is on 121 South 13th Street. Tequila's are excellent!

Have fun!

Thanks guys!

I just got back from a great day trip - got to holt & picked up a few good sticks: couple of Cab Maduros, and a couple of Tat Vorocu East Coasts!

I was drooling on the counter when I saw some LG SB2's & some Davidoff LE 07s & 08s - but alas - it was too rich for my blood today.

I went to Ralphs - thanks Surfish1961!
It was pretty good & their history is very interesting - 2nd oldest Italian resturaunt in America! Cool!

Nine Inch Nails were incredible as usual - not the greatest seats, but as energetic & entertaining as ever!

Thanks to all!

I seem to remember that one a bit differently.................The stains were further south and they weren't sauce.

Cantina Los Caballitos. 1651 E Passyunk.

Excellent Mexican food, plenty of vegetarian/vegan options, and flights of tequila. Good time, guaranteed! :smokingme
