Infographic: Why Philadelphia Is A City We Are Looking Forward To Visiting Soon

In a final breath of 2012 retrospective, we’d like to mention that London and Los Angeles were undoubtedly among our favorite cities to visit last year. For food and drink? Yes, we are serious. But now that it’s 2013, we’re looking ahead. And not too far from our NYC home base. Philadelphia is at the top of our list to visit in 2013. For food and drink? Yes, we are serious. You of course may be familiar with guys like Stephen Starr, Jose Garces and Marc Vetri. But we’re discovering there's more to the story. Here’s an infographic laying out how dining in the City Of Brotherly Love goes well beyond cheesesteaks (but you can get those too). The third-largest Chinatown? Haute food trucks? A farm-to-table restaurant that only takese reservations a year in advance? It's all below. Stay tuned for more on Food Republic. We're coming for you, Philly!
