最近Southwest的機票正在特價，與小猴子決定就選定一個城市為目標，在這之前我對Philadelphia這城市是一無所知。
旅途設定的時間是在Weekend，大概只有短短的三天；規劃的途中，我是越來越起勁，感覺好久沒有這種興奮的心情了。對於這座充滿歷史的古城，一開始我的腦袋瓜裡只有Philadelphia orchestra(費城交響樂團)的存在，於是我先由夜晚的活動開始著手，後來又發現之前在寫Organ相關文章時，腦海對於Philadelphia這座城市存著印象(世界上最大的管風琴現存於賓州費城的梅西百貨裡(461排音管列、28482根音管，重點是還能演奏喲)，天呀！整趟旅程突然開始令人興奮起來了；接著是美食，我最愛Iron Chef其中的Morimoto在費城有家同名餐館。另外，我和小猴子還特別再溫習了電影國家寶藏。有音樂、美食、歷史的城市，真是太吸引人了；對了，還遺漏了一個重要的資訊，那就是費城的衣服鞋子全部免稅^^，開始期待我們的費城之旅囉！
Just came across your blog in preparation for our trip to San Diego, and thought we’d reciprocate and offer some suggestions on Philly.
In addition to Morimoto, you should definitely check out the newest Iron Chef America, Jose Garces. He has four restaurants in Philly. Among them, our favorite would be Tinto, and then Distrito, Amada, Chifa, in that order.
Amada and Tinto are both tapas, and you most likely need a reservation for weekends. They could cost an arm if you are not careful and order too much like we did last time. Lunch menu for Amada is quite limited, so you are better off going there for dinner. Tinto does have Sunday brunch, which is excellent and good value too.
Distrito and Chifa are more modestly priced, and both are good for lunch (not open everyday, though). We did go to Morimoto about four years ago. Although very good as well, it’s just not as satisfying and exciting. Of course you’d be the judge if you have chance to visit these excellent restaurants.
FYI, here’s a list from Philadelphia Magazine:

Enjoy your trip to Philly.
I appreciated your suggestions on Philly.
It’s pity that I had come back to Chapel Hill, but I will try your recommendation next time.
前兩天居然忘了跟你說我幾年去費城有去吃Morimoto
印象很深刻
也是我少數吃過改良式的日本料理覺得還不錯的
不過價錢也還蠻驚人的 呵~
哇！真好
可惜我們的時間不碰巧，最後就沒有在哪裡吃了
如果還有下次機會，你還會再去吃嗎？
Actually, Philly has many unique eating places, one of these is Philly cheese steak, which is located at 4th and South. The other good restaurants worth to try is Starr’s restaurants. One of my favor is El Vez, not too expensive, very good Mexico food. Of course, there are many tradition and excellent restaurants.
Definitely must to visit Philadelphia Orchestra; Fairmont Park near Art Museum; walk around Rittenhouse Square area; and many many more.
Thanks for sharing. Now we have more choices for our next visit! 🙂
