I could spend a week in Philadelphia eating three meals a day here!

Amazing place. Lots of the furniture is actually from the mid to late 1700’s.

I’ve long said that my favorite Italian hoagie is at the Chicago Deli in Largo, Florida. It still is, but this is a close second. 

Not bad 😏

A lovely city – this is my second visit in the last few years. When I drive from Philadelphia to Washington DC (Alexandria, VA, actually) on Friday, I’ll stop again to visit Ft. McHenry (and maybe eat crab cakes again!)

Nice, not great, aquarium. Worth the visit.

Has to be crab cakes 😋

Today I drive from Ephrata, Pennsylvania to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where I’ll spend the next four nights. But, since that drive would take no more than about and hour, I’ll first drive to Baltimore and visit the National Aquarium.
