I’m in Exton, PA about 40 min from Philly for training for two weeks. Just wanted to say besides cheesesteaks the food up here sucks.

Ville de Roma south of city center. Cash only old school Italian joint. Bar on one side, restaurant on the other. Worth a trip. Nothing touches dalessandro’s for cheesesteaks. Onions and whiz with hot peppers. Didn’t think I would be a fan of the whiz but it works.

Info is from 1974, find some German food places. Went to Germantown, north of downtown. I had a guide, an Army buddy, he now lives in Florida, so he is no help today. .

Walk across the intersection to Pat's. It is much better. Just say "whiz/with," that will add cheese whiz and onions to your Philly cheese steak. Live like the locals.

Sapper... DO NOT go here. There are places in Philly that claim to serve Mexican food. They Lie. You can end up with a palette scarred for life... trust me on this. Just tough it out and then head straight to a good TexMex place once you land back in the Lone Star state.

You can’t even get good Mexican food or Tex-Amex in Arkansas. It was so bad we laughed through our meal in Hot Springs last year.

Good Mexican food can be found up there. There’s even some real Mexicans. It just takes a lot of trial and error to figure out what’s what, since the locals don’t know. If you’re there for a week or two, it’s not worth the research. Long term, a little leg work can pay off.

Download a phone app called History Here it's free and will identify things close to you of historical interest. Be careful on the Mexican Food. They think Taco Bell is Mexican Food.
