Philadelphia is a diverse city. There are many different types of cultures represented there. With the different cultures come many different expressions of these cultures. Philly has more outdoor sculptures and murals that any other American city. The city is known for it's German and Italian influences, from this we get the soft pretzel and the cheesesteak. While you are in Philadelphia you should check out S. 9th Street and hit up Geno's and Pat's Steaks and see which of the two world famous cheesesteaks you think is better. You can also stop by for a photo opt with the Rocky Balboa statue outside of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
