A Taste of Philadelphia

Posted by Josh Shear in Dining out, Food

If you're in the Syracuse area, you've probably driven past A Taste of Philadelphia a bazillion times and thought, "I really need to try that place."

I've been doing it for seven years.

And then Dan Lovell (blog - Twitter) said I had to try it, and put his money where his mouth was.

He recommends the pizza cheesesteak, but it being my first time there, I had to try the special. And since there will most definitely be a second time, I'll try the pizza next time.

The place is the sort I tend to prefer: dark, lacking pretense, full of stuff on the walls that matches the theme of the place (umm, Philadelphia, why would you even ask?). And good food, for really reasonably prices.

Give it a try, really. There's even a little parking lot next to the building so you don't have to deal with parking on James Street. Do it. Today, even.

    right on! It’s not Pat’s or Geno’s, but it’s still the only reasonable version of the classic Philly cheesesteak around these parts. I lived in Philly for five years and when the jonesin’ for a cheesesteak gets to me, I head over to Taste.
