Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We left Stamford early in the morning on Friday, August 12th and made our way to Mount Laurel, New Jersey. We then drove into Philadelphia for lunch at the famous Pat's Cheese Steaks.  We have had a craving for these Cheese Steaks for the past seven years, which was the last time we were in Philly.  Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our experience.  The sandwiches seemed dry and lacked the greasy taste that we became accustomed to.  We felt cheated!

We checked into our hotel and continued to lament about our poor lunch choice.  New Jersey is known for it's diners and we decided to try our luck for dinner.  Luckily, we found a real gem- The Cherry Hill Diner.  Our meals were plentiful and cheap!  And...the dessert case was a work of art.  Tina went ga-ga over the Chocolate Chip Canolis and made the decision to indulge.  We will definitely make a trip back here before we leave for our next destination because "Nothing could be finer than another meal at the Cherry Hill Diner."
