Two founding documents, one perfect sandwich
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was the birthplace of American democracy — the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were both signed here — and the city wears that history without being consumed by it. The Reading Terminal Market, the Barnes Foundation, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and a Chinatown that anchors one of the country's most walkable downtowns all exist alongside the rowhouse neighborhoods that have defined Philly's working-class character for generations. This is a city with serious food, serious art, and an unshakeable sense of itself.
