Philly gets its first Sonic

Sonic tips that its first Philadelphia drive-in will begin serving at 6 a.m. Nov. 16 (after a VIP ribbon-cutting event at noon Friday, Nov. 13).

Address: 2201 E. Butler St. (at Aramingo Avenue) in Port Richmond.

Sonic adherents (Cherry Limeades, Tater Tots, Extra-Long Cheese Coneys) view these openings as somewhat of a religious experience.

Hours will be 6 a.m. to midnight.

There are a few Sonics in the 'burbs nowadays, including Lower Bucks locations at 1525 Street Rd. in Bensalem and Levittown Shopping Center (Levittown Parkway and Route 13 in Tullytown).

    Glad to see they are expanding - we have one local now and it is a great time out with the kids and for fast food, it's pretty tasty!...Kevin Timochenko
