Good morning, my friends. ☕️☀️ In Philadelphia for work this week, Mexico City next week. I’m so excited! Mexico has some of the nicest folks I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet.

Want some outstanding food recommendations besides the best cheesesteaks?
@voltronic Tell me! 😋
@FabulousLVNV
First, any trip to Philly if you're looking for good food needs to start at Reading Terminal Market. There you will find the actual best sandwich in town (some awards reading orgs say best in the country): DiNic's roast pork. I recommend ordering it with sauteed broccoli rabe or spinach with provolone, and ask for it extra wet.
@FabulousLVNV
Any place in that market is top-notch, but if you like light airy German style donuts with lots of specialty creams, go to the back corner where all the Amish vendors are and get online for Beiler's. Trust me, it's worth it.
Not too far away is the best Shanghai soup dumpling place around, Dim Sum Garden on Race St. Besides the dumplings, you have to try the duck noodles. Also Sang Kee House of duck nearby if that's your thing.
@voltronic Hmm…duck sounds like tonight’s go-to! Can’t wait to try!
@FabulousLVNV
The duck soup at Sang Kee is pretty amazing. But if I were you, I would go to Dim Sum Garden to get the handmade noodles in duck broth, and then you can get the soup dumplings as well. FYI it's cash only.
