BEST Breakfast Down Home Diner

Fluffy biscuits, crispy scrapple and smiling faces are what you'll get at the Down Home Diner. They have a great breakfast menu so make sure your travels take you to Center City for that all important first meal of the day. Take the plunge and try their excellent chipped beef or their yummy egg dishes. And when you're done, you can walk off those pancakes in FOODIE HEAVEN,...the Reading Terminal Market opens at 8!

BEST Burger Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries

I don't go for restaurant chains generally but these guys do it right. With multiple locations throughout the area they are the kings of the 5 buck burger. Their fries are crisp their restaurants are clean and they're NOT an arm and a leg and a foot.

BEST Cheesesteak John's Roast Pork

BEST Sandwich Shop Chickie's Italian Deli

Home-made soups, sandwiches and Italian specialties that would make your Aunt Rita jealous. The people that run the place are great and you can eat there without a bank officer in tow to handle financing! Get there during the week because the weekend hours are limited. If standing in the lines at Pats or Genos isnt your thing this would be a great place to take out of towners to experience a bit of REAL South Philly cuisine.

BEST 2011 Phillie Shane Victorino

He's got hustle. He's got heart. He's got a damn-cool nickname. He's got my vote.
