Philly is a very diverse town with plenty to do & see.

Reference the above for the public transportation map, you can get anywhere in the city without a lot of trouble. The subway (either the Broad St. or Market Frankford L lines) are NOT horrible, so long as you get off at the proper places.

In terms of opinions on food, as you have seen, everyone has an opinion.

Truth is that Pat's & Geno's are considered the cornerstone of the cheesesteak business (one of the was involved in a Throwdown with Bobby Flay on the Food Network not too long ago).

Other food to enjoy that you can not get elsewhere, Philly pretzels & Tastycakes, neither should be missed by a first time Philly visitor.

There are MANY fine entertainment establishments & beverage locations, certainly eating while overlooking the river is nice. Additionally, right across the river is the Camden Aquarium & the USS New Jersey Battleship, but I would NOT venture elsewhere in Camden.

Hope ALL the visitors enjoy your stay. Feel free to post any other questions (I have lived in the area ALL my life and spent 5 years at Drexel as a student).
