Philadelphia Trip Recap - Part 2

The second part of our trip was mainly filled with eating and lounging around the hotel watching the Summer Olympics in Rio (unfortunately via NBC's terrible coverage).

Day 3

We slept in and decided we'd like to try another cheesesteak for lunch.  I had surfed Instagram hashtags like #phillyfood during my trip planning and found a particularly tasty looking sandwich from a place called Cleaver's.  We walked over and ordered a cheesesteak with onions and American to split with a side of waffle fries.  I was so happy to find it was every bit as delicious as the picture led me to believe.  I was also pleased that this proved Instagram is a good way to discover restaurants you might not otherwise find if you know the right hashtag to look into.

Philadelphia Trip Recap - Part 1

Jeff and I recently returned from a five day trip to Philadelphia to eat all the food and do a little sight seeing.  We also took a day to visit Amish country in Lancaster.  Read on for our trip recap!
