With hundreds of locations all over the East Coast – including seven in Philadelphia– Crown Fried Chicken has become a great alternative to Popeye’s and KFC.

Located just south of the hustle of South Street in Queen's Village, the Famous 4th Street Deli is a quaint Jewish-American restaurant featuring hospitable service and enormous sandwiches. Named after the streets in New York City, some of the sandwiches stand over six inches tall and come with a choice of sides like potato pancakes and fresh fruit. Traditional Jewish American delicacies, including monsterous bowls of matzah ball soup, can be ordered as appetizers. The attached bakery freshly bakes a motley of pastries available for desert or take out daily.

Geno's Steaks

Address: 1219 South Ninth Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147 (Map)

Rivaling neighboring Pat’s, Genos is Philly’s other notorious 24-hour cheesesteak stop. As has been the case since Joe Vento opened in 1966, sandwiches come heaping with thinly sliced steak and a choice of American, Provolone, or cheese wiz melted across the top. The menu is simple, the ordering straightforward, and the meal a decadent version of the best sandwich Philadelphia has to offer. If the glowing storefront doesn’t lure you in, the unmistakable scent of grilled steak certainly will.

Marrakesh

Address: 517 S. Leithgow Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147 (Map)

You ring the doorbell to gain entrance to Marrakesh, giving you the feel you’re entering a secret Arabesque society. Inside, the waiters wear traditional Moroccan garb, the walls are covered with embroidered rugs, and the couches are low to the ground, giving the space an almost tent-like feel. Guests can opt for a communal experience of being seated with strangers or more private seating. And of course, there’s the food, which comes in seven courses, starting with dishes like Oasis Carrots with Coriander to and ending with Baklava and Mint Tea, leaving you full, satisfied, and knowing you’ll be back for more.

Pat's King of Steaks

Address: 1237 E. Passyunk Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19147 (Map)

Cheesesteaks are so ingrained in Philly tradition that visitors don’t dare depart the city without sampling the city's namesake sandwich. At Pat’s, diners come for the original—founder Pat Oliveri created the sandwich in 1930—and are willing to suffer long lines and follow strict instructions for “How to Order a Steak.” Make sure you come with cash and a decisive palate—if you stumble over your order you may be sent to the back of the line. But stay steadfast and the reward is yours: thin slices of juicy ribeye, smothered with melted cheese and grilled onions, and stuffed into a crisp Italian roll. It doesn’t get more classic than this.
