Speaking candidly, we don’t much care for Philadelphia. We tolerate some things: Rocky Balboa, for instance. Most of us take grade-school road trips there and tour Independence Hall, and see the Liberty Bell, and those moments stay with us. And, honestly, who doesn’t like a good cheesesteak?
Speaking candidly, Philly doesn’t much care for New York, either. They tolerate some things. Broadway, for instance. Just about everyone who comes here who’s not from here seeks out the Empire State building or the Statue of Liberty.

Everything else, that’s fair game.
