Every time I am even remotely close to Philly I always get an urge to take advantage of all the things I miss while in Boston.
Take for instance, Wawa.
Nothing beats being able to punch in your dream hoagie into a touch screen and also be able to ask for toppings on the side. Their breakfast sandwiches are also out of this world. Whatever you do, don’t compare it to 7 Eleven, it just isn’t the same, trust me.
And Yuengling, America’s oldest brewery.
Whenever myself or a friend goes back to Philly we almost always grab a case to bring home, I feel like more often than not there is at least one bottle in my fridge.
And then there’s Yards. While I do like a lager from time to time, my real go to is an ale, and Yards is one of my favorites.

The first time I ever had a Yards was at North Third, one of Mike and I’s favorite restaurants.
And of course, a cheesesteak from Larry’s.

Yes, everyone knows the famous Pat’s and Gino’s steaks, but when I lived in Philly I walked across the street from my college campus to get my cheesesteaks, and that is what I miss.
and then i wanted a cheesesteak for breakfast. thanks!
I hate that we don’t get Yeungling here in Boston! I miss it and always have some when I go back to NYC.
Yuengling’s one of my favorite beers. Loved it ever since I first tried it during college when I visited a friend at the University of Delaware. Such a travesty that they don’t distribute it up here.
I’ve only been to Philly once — for an afternoon, at that — and I definitely want to check it out. Also, that cheesesteak looks amazing. Yum.
LOVE Yeungling! We always grab a case (or 4) when we go to New York (or make a request when we get visitors from New York). Kinda glad it’s not so accessible though; makes it more special when we do get to enjoy it.
That’s crazy about the hoagie!!!
[...] didn’t get to Philly as much as I would have liked and when I did go, I never made it back to NorthThird nor did I eat a cheesesteak, but there is always next year. [...]
