Looks kind a different now though.

OK… since I said “low-brow” and “high_brow” I thought I’d owe a few examples of places people can go in Philly for good eats… at many different budgets!<>Low-brow:<><> These first two are across the street from each other… go and compare!<>< HREF="http://www.patskingofsteaks.com/" REL="nofollow">Pat’s Cheesesteak<>< HREF="http://www.genosteaks.com/" REL="nofollow">Geno’s Cheesesteak<>< HREF="http://www.copabanana.com/copabanana.html" REL="nofollow">Copabanana<> <>AWESOME Margarita’s in the heart of South Street!!!<>< HREF="http://www.chickiesandpetes.com/page/page/790062.htm" REL="nofollow">Chickie and Pete’s<> <>Great place to go after watching the Iggles or Sixers!<><>High-brow<>Probably ANY of the “Starr Restaurants”, but some of our personal favorites of that group are:* < HREF="http://www.buddakan.com/" REL="nofollow">Buddakan<>* < HREF="http://www.morimotorestaurant.com/" REL="nofollow">Morimoto<> <>The ISHI YAKI ‘BURI BOP’ is YUMMY<>Honestly, there are MANY, MANY more places to eat in Philly (which was a nice thing for this Boston native to learn) <>and<> if you’re not so impressed, just drive 2 hours north and you’re in NYC!!It took a while for Philly to grow on me but now that I’m “aware” I wouldn’t trade it for anything… well, maybe somewhere closer to the ocean… 😉

Did you hear that after you all host the summer games in 2012 that Philadelphia is going to try and host the games for 2016!!! Now, my mother and I are planning on attending the 2012 games, but how sweet would it be to have our own games here 4 years later! 🙂At least, we HOPE so!!!
