If you are in the historic area and want to have a "Colonial" experience, the City Tavern is very good.

wherev are you staying? Osteria for sure, or one of the other Vetri joints, Village Whiskey (Jose Garzws) - in the Terminal, be sure to try DeNic"s roast pork.

No cheese?
Geez Evan, looks to me if you added some cheese, gravy, and fries to that, you might have something...:)
Actually I think I had a sausage sandwich at DiNic's years ago, way good.
I spent the day today at the Fryeburg Fair, it was Woodsman's Day, awesome competitions. Interesting food choices, including Poutine of course, fried dough, deep fried Oreos and deep fried Mac and cheese, to name a few. I settled for a turkey sandwich and ice cream cone with ice tea (unsweetened).
My favorite woodsman event was the "springboard chop" - yeeeeowwww. We left before the unlimited chainsaw event, but I saw some of the saws, which I'm not sure I could even pick up.
San Diego next week, restaurant suggestions anyone? I've been to a couple good ones, but always open to new ideas.

No fries, no gravy, no cheese. This is the [almost] perfect meal exactly as pictured.
[Edit: needs a can of Sixpoint Resin.]

YES! Totally forgot about Capogiro. There's one very close to El Vez, just a couple blocks.

Nope. West coast. Just great memories of Philly food from previous trips. :)

Very embarrassing. Once I went there and was denied entry due to my sneakers...
