Had a craving… Mexican shrimp cocktail and a local IPA

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 😋
