The Best Philly Cheesesteaks Near Philadelphia Hotels
The city of Philadelphia is not only the birthplace of American independence; it gave us the famous mouth-watering American sandwich – the Philly cheesesteak. Tourists can enjoy an authentic Philly cheese steak in Southern Philadelphia where it was first created—Pat’s King of Steaks. When visiting the city, stay in Philadelphia hotels on Passyunk Avenue near Ninth Street where you’ll find Pat’s Steaks and its archrival Geno’s Steaks. Both restaurants serve their cheese steaks 24 hours a day, and they are always packed with people. For those who are curious to know what a Philly cheese steak is made of, here are its four ingredients: rib-eye steak strips topped with provolone or white American cheese and caramelized onions on an Amoroso roll. Many cities have tried to copy it and, in fact, have come up with such versions as the pizza steak with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese, the steak hoagie with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise, and the chicken cheese steak served with buffalo wing sauce and bleu cheese dressing.
