We got the opportunity to see South Street! I never associated this South Street to the 60s hit tune, "Go ahead down to South Street, where every one of the radicals meet." obviously, in light of the fact that I was a genuine Southern California hippy, it never jumped out at me that the tune alluded to a road in Philadelphia.

For Philly cheddar steak and cheddar fries, attempt Jim's steaks on fourth and South, or Steve's on seventh and South.

Less-acclaimed, however generally as delectable, Steve's has no lines and an awesome little burger joint. How would they escape with non-available rest rooms?
