When paying a visit to the historic city of Philadelphia, be sure to save some time and room for some of the area's local culinary delights. Most people instantly recognize the iconic Philly Cheesesteak, but the region boasts some other yummy delights.
City Food Tours offers the Flavors of Philly Tour that will introduce you to some of the region's best known foods. Not only will you get a taste of the popular foods in Philadelphia, but you will still get a taste of the city's important history.
