Quickly becoming a Philly institution. Come for a volcano (best hot chocolate drink in the city), come BACK for Rene, who makes every visit an event. You'll be hooked... everyone is.
Go back in time at this Old City ice cream parlor, where the Berley brothers geek out about historic techniques and handlebar mustaches. Try one of the old-timey sundaes, like the Maple Leaf Rag.
A very excellent used bookstore, and possibly the best in Philly in terms of value and selection. Not great with trade-ins, but still worthwhile for browsing. Tons of freebies outside every day.
Try Tony Luke's Ultimate Cheesesteak Challenge -- 2 1/2 lbs. of beef over 1 lb. of cheese, fried onions and a 20-inch roll. As seen on Man v Food.
