A salad chain that is prominent on the East Coast. We love going there when we want healthy food, but have no time. Salads are between 8-10$ but easy fill you

You know Bobby Flay? The renowned chef? He opened this tasty burger restaurant in 2010 and it has been a happening place ever since. We almost always get the LA Burger. You can also crunchify (add potato chips) to any burger for free!

Pat's vs. Gino's is the long time Philadelphia Cheesesteak Rival. This is probably the most touristy place to buy a cheesesteak in Philadelphia. We both don't have a preference as to which place is best, but they are across the street from each other, so maybe you should decide?

This is a vegan restaurant. They have vegan Philly cheesesteak if that is your thing. They have a lot of other options that you will be surprised are vegan, because they don't neccessarily taste vegan.

Boathouse row is an iconic road where all of the local Universities store their rowing boats for use on the Schuylkill River. Take a run, jog, walk, or bike ride on the Schuykill river train, which will take you all the way to Valley Forge if you set your heart to it (and want to go 20+ miles)
