We went to Philadelphia. There was food.

[randomness]

In very short, and in order:

John's Water Ice. Yes, we got water ice first. We were thirsty. I got back of throat freeze, I ate it so fast.

Pat's King of Steaks. I'm a Pat's over Geno's kinda guy. Also, Jim's on South Street had a line out the door.

Capogiro Gelato. More frozen dessert. Of course.

Weber’s Famous Root Beer. I was still thirsty, and I love the old drive-in experience. They've been there since 1954. Kicks the snot out of Sonic in terms of both authenticity and taste.

We didn't get to the Franklin Fountain today because again, there was a line out the door. Maybe tomorrow.

Pics may follow as I took some but am too busy tonight to upload.

WATER ICE! -flails in joy-

I did make it to Franklin Fountain and, while it was good, I did find the enormous line offputting and the prices high - it was good, but not change-my-life good. I actually enjoyed Shane's Candies around the corner more, and the cheesesteaks at Old City Pizza were winners (I had a chicken steak - despite the name, nobody was ordering pizza.)

Yeah, there will be more water ice in our future. :)

Thanks for the other recommendations!
