@YourTypicalHunk lol pretty sad how the 2nd thing they mentioned was a pretzel, dude phillys not the greatest city obviously but our center city has so much history and during the holidays theres a shit ton to do. bet you didnt know bout the famous wanamaker organ in macys like 1 of the biggest in the world, theres a light show and organ show during christmas, we got penns landing with a dave and busters la veranda, spirit dinner on a ship, and we're buliding a venue called Phill Live down at
@YourTypicalHunk philly live* down by the ballparks where the spectrum used to be. gona be a very nice hotel, resturants, ESPN Zone, more sports team gift shops and more. we're finally making south philyl a place to visit. and yes the pretzels and cheese stakes are the friggin shit! Dont forget the Italian Market either lol
They used to run this Ad in the Boston market when Southwest was trying to get people to fly from Manchester (NH) to Philadelphia. I think it left hundreds of thousands of New Englanders wondering why anyone would want to go to Philadelphia.
I was in Chicago once nearly 20 years ago, and four of their 15-second of their ads during breaks for WLS's "Eyewitness News" had a guy telling about SWA flying to (then) New Detroit City Airport. One ad was "as close as the crow flies." Another, "a stone coud be thrown at you." Another, "Hop, skip, and jump." The last, "A snake could crawl up and bite you." Funny as all heck!
Geno's and Pat's are overrated. I tried 'em both and determined I can get a much better steak sandwich here in Massachusetts. However, I've heard good things about Jim's.
A baby New York?? WTF? That guy at 00:14 has no idea what he's talking about. You can tell he's a tourist and just took a cab in from the airport. Walk around, talk to the locals, visit the diners and there is no way you will confuse Philly with New York, Chicago, or Boston.
Maybe there's a lot more to offer but Pretzels and Cheesesteaks?? I'm not tryin to insult philly it's just Southwest's fault they didn't make it better.
OMFG, I'm totally going to philly now because I can't get a cheesesteak at nearly every restaurant that exists anywhere. If only Idaho was there too I could get a baked potato with it!
Obviously other places in the country will claim to sell a philly cheese steak, but its much better to take a trip to philly and try an authentic philly cheese steak.
hahaha, it's funny because all there is to do in philly is to go see the liberty bell and eat cheesesteak. it's just a shitty ad, i actually like philly but this commercial does no justice to the city.

Black & Gold runs through Boston's veins.
In Philly, it's just cholesterol.

When number 2 on the list of things to do in your city is "eat a pretzel," you live in a dump.

Pat's is the most overrated cheesesteak on the planet. Next time, go to Tony Luke's.
