The Flavors of Philly Tour
   I am a native Philadelphian. Over the years, I have come to realize that the citizens of this city have peculiar taste in food. We are obsessed with our soft pretzels, TastyKakes, and cheesesteaks "wit whiz." Many other people who aren’t familiar with the our culture would immediately turn up their noses in disgust over our less-than-desirable cravings, but that doesn’t dissuade the hundreds who flock to Geno’s or Pat's weekly to get a taste of their favorite local delicacy.
    The Flavors of Philly Tour is out to prove that there is nothing wrong with a little grease in your cheesesteak. This brand new, two-and-a-half-hour-long tour takes people across the city to sample a wide variety of famous Philadelphia flavors. Participants can indulge themselves in the city’s food, culture and history. You can try an authentic Italian Hoagie and learn why we don’t call it a sub or a hero. Learn the right way to order a Philadelphia cheesesteak and taste Philadelphia’s doughy, warm soft pretzels and find out why they take on a different shape in Philly. You can even satisfy your sugar craving with the city’s famous chocolate-covered pretzels and chocolate chip cookies!
    This delicious and entertaining tour takes place in the heart of Philadelphia and includes six stops. You can get inside information on Philly’s food history and learn some quirky and funny stories about how some of these iconic foods came into existence. Walk away with a full stomach and a much happier mood!
