Philadelphia Soft Preztels

The Soft Pretzel Factory is the place to go to munch on one of these famous pretzels, no where else better! Do not forget to add your choice of toppings/dips: cheese, mustard (regular, spicy, or honey), cream cheese, cinnamon, chocolate or butter cream. Pretzels are a favorite among the locals, and you can purchase them at pretty much anytime during the day, seeing as the factory is pretty much open all day.
TastyKake

Hoagies
The term hoagie describes a sandwich filled with meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickels, sweet or hot peppers, or whatever else you may like on it. The sandwich is served on an 10-inch long Italian roll. The sandwich itself is not unique to Philadelphia, however, the name is. The term "hoagie" is what is used to describe these sandwiches. There are many stories as to how the word was created for this sandwich; the only consistency in these stories is that it started in Philadelphia. These sandwiches have many other names, however, Philadelphia is the only place you can order a hoagie.
