PHILLY CHEESESTEAK
Sweet cheesus, you can’t go to Philly without having a famous philly cheesesteak! The two famous spots - Pats and Genos, When Will and Anh first started dating, Will picked Anh up from the airport and took her to try both - Pats was their favorite! The two iconic spots are right across from each other so try both and see which cheesesteak wins!
OTHER SAVORY & SWEETS
Vietnam Restaurant - an ode to Anh’s heritage but coincidently also one of the Armstrong’s favorite restaurants in the city! Order the BBQ platter and you won’t be disappointed
North 3rd - casual American bar & grill with plenty of delicious options! Wills fave: wings, mussels, steak frites (he is clearly no vegetarian)
Emmy Squared - if you haven’t had a chance to try their award winning burger + square pizzas in NYC, here’s your opportunity in Philly!
