I'm going to Philly this Sunday to see the King Tut exhibit at the Franklin Museum and I figured since I was in town I may as well get a real philly chease steak. Anyone recommend a good spot thats somewhere close to the museum. Thanks in advance.

There are a few good places:

1). Pat's
http://www.patskingofsteaks.com/

2). Geno's
http://www.genosteaks.com/home1.html

3). Tony Lukes
http://www.tonylukes.com/

Those are the famous cheese steak locations.....Pat's and Geno's are located right across the street from each other. I'm sure everyone from Philly will agree with these three choices.

 

none of them are 'near' the art museum though... I figured he meant in walking distance.

is Rick's still at reading terminal or is it closed?

 

Genos or Pats FTW..but not close FTL

Are you going on the UCC trip to the museum?

 

overrated.

 

Ricks was still there when i went to the philly auto show in Jan-Feb

 

Jim's was good too.

 

save your time and money, just get the cheesesteaks... the tut exhibit is a phony half assed waste of both

 

+*********in'1 on Pat's. Every time I'd go to Philly I'd make a trip over there.

 

Any place in Philly can make a decent cheesesteak, however your not having an authentic Philly cheesesteak unless you go to one of the following places. Geno's Steaks has my #1 vote, then Pat's. And of course Tony Luke's. Jim's Steaks on South St. is also very good too.

 

thanks for the responses guys. I'll def keep these in mind.

Maybe i'll try two just to be sure i'm getting the real deal, lol.

Btw, driven, why didn't you like the exhibit?

and, any of you guys ever been to the Easternstate haunted tour? My wife wants to go, i'm not sure if its worth it. I'll only go if its scary as hell.

Thanks again everyone.

What is the UCC trip? I"m just going because I like history and they say the exhibit won't be back for another 30 years so I figured I'd check it out this time just in case i'm not around in 30 years. Damn, now i'm depreseed, i'd be 60 by then.

 

Just go to Geno's and order 2. When you order, it must be in english, and you say "american with". I drive from central jersey just to get them sometimes. I paralleled my Z for the first time few weeks ago just to get one, very tight area lol, my car stuck out like a sore thumb in that area. Oh well.

 

I was trying to get a bunch of my friends to go, but my cousin went last year and she said it was so staged it wasn't scary.... So we aren't going.

 

That sucks cause some people said it was good but not sure now. have you watched the video on their website. I think the night tour is interesting. www.easternstate.org

I'll let you all know if i go and how it was.

 

Thats funny man, they must be good if you parked your z there. I've actually never parked my z on any street. maybe a handful of times at a mall and i'm always like the car farthest from the entrance. I hate door dings.

 

A community college. They are also going this weekend. I was going to go with this girl that invited me but I dont like history that much.

 

D'Alessandro's in Roxborough FTW on the cheesesteaks...though it's probably too far from the museum.

 

fyi, I ended up going to Geno's and can say I'll never go back. That place seemed racially discriminating to me. Next time i'll go to Pat's or one of the other places. Now I know what one of the members above meant when he said "order in english". They have all this anti-immigration propoganda posted all over the place. I didn't like that about them.
