Ah, the city of Brotherly Love. Philadelphia, home to yours truly for some years, brought back some very nostalgic feelings, and some odd feelings of deja vu. No trip to Philly (to me, anyway) is complete without some must-do's and must-visits: riding the subway (and other public transit), walking around Center City, eating (but more on that later), Trader Joe's, Reading Terminal Market, Chinah-town, visiting the 7-11 right by Drexel's campus (yes I took pictures of the "security mechanisms" aka the mirrors in the back corner), among others.

Enjoy!

(Thoughts on the eateries and food-related places I visited: Currito Burrito, Reading Terminal Market, Max Brenner (Chocolate by the Bald Man), Buca di Beppo, Bubble Tea House, Capugiro's, Qdoba are either already, or will be shortly, posted over at the food blog.)
