Philadelphia
I’m sure you’ve smelled it, that heavenly smell of steak onions and green peppers sizzling on an open grill. Philadelphia is a wonderful place with tons of culture, history, and even people. They bring a lot of things to this wonderful melting pot, but 3 things that first come to my mind is sights, smells, and tastes.
Remember that steak from above? Yeah, that’s a phili cheese steak, and no if you haven’t gotten one from Philadelphia it’s not the same. The open grill sizzling typically with a rather large guy cooking it in a grubby white apron that has seen the battle scars of many steaks to come and go is a very unique experience but that’s just a street vendor, if you want to see some really neat things we have the liberty bell, with its well-known crack through it …show more content…
Also there are these things called Wawa’s there and they always smell like fresh pretzels and coffee every single morning, imagine a 7-11 mixed with Starbucks. But there were many other smells route 1 old Lincoln highway always had a ton of cars to the point where you could cross the road without looking because there was gridlock. So it always smelled... used, it is weird to think how many people there are in Philadelphia you can see a good chunk out there on their morning commute. Philadelphia was also rather flowery there were quite a few woods as well so the smell of nature permeated the air quite strongly.
Do you know what else is strong? If you guessed phili cheese steak im being too predictable. The meat ball subs and amazing the Kaiser rolls soft and the meat warm. Fun fact phili is accreted for creating the term hoagie, and boy were those delicious too, nothing went better than that except a water ice on a hot day. Now you know it as Italian ice, we knew it as wooter-ice. Specifically Rita’s water ice it always hit the spot it was like sherbet mixed with ice and boy it hit the spot on those long summer
