We slept in on Sunday morning and didn’t get out of the house until after noon. For lunch, we went to Jim’s. It’s on South St. and serves cheese steak with thinner-sliced meat. They also don’t have fries. I had a steak hogie that includes lettuce and tomato while Jes had the non-whiz sandwich. Some say Jim’s is more for tourists but I think it depends on what you prefer. I enjoyed both Pat’s and Jim’s so it’s a toss-up for me.

Next stop was Cosi where we ordered the table-top s’mores. It seemed a little dangerous to be flaming stuff indoors but it was a fun experience to be roasting marshmallows at a table in a restaurant. Right before going to the train station, we drove through West Philly (the REAL part of Philly that most tourists don’t venture through). Dayantha also took us to where he works and got to visit the call room where he hangs out. I always enjoy seeing where my friends and family work.

The train ride home went pretty smoothly. We hopped onto the 5:09 pm and the only scare was when we arrived in Trenton and our next train was on the other platform. We darted up the stairs, across the bridge, and down the other stairs to jump onto the New York-bound train. Phew! I really didn’t want to wait another hour. We got back to Jason’s apartment by 8:30 pm. Boy am I pooped.

Here are photos from our weekend in Philly.
