Just curious…flying up there to see a concert tomorrow…wondering if anyone lives there or is from there and can suggest any good hang-outs near the venue(the Filmore)…I don’t recall anyone on here being from there but doesn’t hurt to ask…
I have no idea where Filmore is, but I’ve been to Philly a few times and there’s an area downtown called South Street and there are a bunch of totally cool bars. I can’t remember the names of all of them that my friend and I destroyed over a 3 day reign, but TATTOOED MOMS, MANNY BROWNS, and JONS were our regular stops as I remember. Good beer, good jukeboxes, and there are plenty of eating places (either in the bars or around) that are all great too.
Ok thanks,G…I am not sure if we will get to that part of town but I will check some of those places out if we do…the Filmore is in an area called Fishtown which is NE of Center City…I have been to PHilly before been it has been a while so I am no expert on the area…
Also, don’t fall for the cheesesteak thing. They’re disgusting no matter where you get them.
It’s a prank played on tourists.

HAHAAHAHA!!! There’s a lot of great food in Philly, but I’ve never gone out of my way for the cheesesteaks either.
I’ve been to Philly twice and never managed to eat a cheesesteak sandwich either.
I always forget to go there, but Philly is also the home of the Digital Underground record store, which is to Metropolis Records as Waxtrax was to Waxtrax or Vinyl Experience was to World Serpent.
Agreed with Tattooed Mom’s.
Reading Terminal Market is the big food market.
Sonny’s on Market has the better steak sandwich, it’s made fresh and it’s juicy/tasty compared to Pat’s or Gino’s.
The Gallery Mall from Fresh Prince is still there.

Funny,Mooney…right when I checked my emails on my phone and saw your post we had just left Sonny’s and were walking towards the Reading Market…
That was a fuckn killer cheesesteak and that market is out of control…if you want it they got it…
Anyways thanks for the suggestions and comments guys…great concert and a great time in Philly…
