These are the cheesesteaks we recommend (we think they're better than Pat's & Gino's). Also great cheesefries and milkshakes, and open late on weekends.

Serious sushi restaurant - we don't recommend going over the bridge to Jersey often, but this is where our friend from Japan goes when he's here. Recommendations a must on weekends.

Cheese steak sandwiches are a Philly tradition (finely chopped beef or chicken with cheese - preferably "whiz" (nacho cheese without the spice) and sometimes mushrooms and onions. Skip the huge lines and dried out meat at the big places in South Philly - Joe's is a local institution that also has great cheese fries, burgers, and milkshakes (try peanut butter and vanilla for a spin on the Reese's classic).
