It’s just after 3 a.m. when you sidle up to the counter at Geno’s Streaks, located at the intersection of 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue in South Philadelphia.
“One wiz with,” you order.
That means one cheesesteak with cheese wiz and fried onions. You have to order quickly because there’s always a line at Geno’s. There’s always a line at Pat’s King of Steaks too. That famous cheesesteak eatery is located on the south corner of this intersection.
That’s right, the two best cheesesteaks in Philadelphia (as well as the world) are located at the same intersection. Tonight you picked Geno’s because the coin came up heads. Next time you’ll try Pat’s or maybe both.
Even though it’s early in the morning you were in desperate need of a late night snack. After all, you just spent the entire evening (and some of the morning) exploring everything there is to do at night in Philadelphia.
Well, not everything. The City Of Brotherly Love offers so many options for night time fun – from cocktails to live music, from neighborhood bars to bowling alleys – that’s there’s no way you could see and do everything in just one evening (and some of the morning).
Besides its vast selection, Philadelphia also offers convenient. Depending on the area you choose, you can spend the entire evening in one neighborhood walking (hopefully not stumbling) from one hot spot to the next.
For you, this particular night started with dinner at a daring and dashing restaurant called 10 Arts. Located inside the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia Hotel, at the corner of Broad and Chestnut Streets, the elegant 10 Arts is the product of world-renowned Chef Eric Riper.
The cuisine is American and the atmosphere is urbane, especially with its beautifully white-marble architecture. While it’s an expensive restaurant they are sensitive to their patrons’ pocketbooks and this down economy. Monday through Wednesday if the stock market is up, 10 Arts will help you celebrate with 25 percent off their appetizers. If the market is down, they will help you drown your sorrows with 25 percent off their drinks.
After dining at 10 Arts, you and your party shuffled over to the World Caf
