Philly Cheesesteak Tour

A few of our favorites…

Rocco’s Italian Sausage & Cheesesteaks (15 min. drive, the most authentic hole in the wall located outside our neighborhood HomeDepot)

Restaurants

A few recommendations if you find yourself in town on Friday night or Sunday morning (recommend making reservations in advance!):


Parc: A classic french brasserie with a fun atmosphere. Great for dinner and brunch.


Fiorella Pasta: Our favorite restaurant in the city. A short Uber away, but well worth it for amazing homemade pasta in the Italian Market neighborhood.


Pizzeria Vetri: A more casual option for wood fired pizza. Close to the hotel and kid friendly.


Federal Donuts: If you’re in a rush Sunday morning, a great spot for coffee and homemade donuts around the corner from the hotel.

Reading Terminal Market

1136 Arch St, Philadelphia, PA 19107, USA

Classic Philly destination. Food hall filled with tons of local vendors from homemade donuts to the famous DiNic’s roast pork. (15 min. walk from hotel)

Fishtown

A 15 min. drive or Uber away to a fun part of town filled with breweries (Other Half), beer gardens (Frankford Hall), distilleries (Philly distilling), and many great eats!
