Going to Philly
Every year the bar that I hang out at (The Bahia Cabana) has an End of The Season party. It goes from Sunday to Tuesday with events such as hot bod contests, belly flop contests and lots of drinking. Basically it is a celebration of all the hard work the servers/bartenders do over the busy season in Ft. Lauderdale.
My friends Scott and Cindy were in town for the festivities along with about 300 other people locals and folks from other areas. Good times! Julie one of my really good friends bartends at the Cabana. I used to work there and most of my friends still do work there, so I hang out there a lot.
Sunday night I was at the bar with Scott and Cindy having some cocktails and Cindy says to Julie and I, "Hey, why don't you girls come up to Philly for Fathers Day weekend, I'm taking the kids to the Outer Banks and I'm sure Scott would love the company?" So Julie and I looked at each other half drunk and said "Sure" So we bought the tickets and are headed up there tomorrow morning.
Scott is a lawyer and his trial ends today, so he has planned a pool party upon our arrival tomorrow. Looked up the weather, I guess it's supposed to be nice. Saturday we are going to catch the Phillies vs. Detroit game and Sunday do some sight seeing. I have never been to Philly so it should be a great time.
Any suggestions on places to go/things to see?

Well of course Joe, but isn't there some famous place for them, like the most insanely awesomest Cheesesteak making place?

Yeah, I know there are two places across the street from eachother that have a heated rivalry. I think one is Geno's or something? Ringer knows about these places. Perhaps he'll weigh in.

"The debate over whether Pat's or Geno's steaks are the best goes on every night. Both are located on Passyunk Avenue near Ninth Street in the heart of South Philly. Other neighborhoods have also staked their claims to have the best cheesesteak.
Jim's Steaks at 4th and South Street has been in business for over 60 years, and is a favorite of many locals."
Geno sounds like a real prick. Probably likes the Yankees, Jeff Gordon, GWB, etc etc...

Which probably means he has the best cheesesteaks too, but everybody denies it because nobody likes a winner.
