Landed in Philly last night for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics convention and expo. Took my own advice this morning; needed to get over the 3 hours difference in time change and the 3am bedtime so I took a walk in the City of Brotherly love. I am staying right by the park where the LOVE Statue stands (and a lot of homeless people sleep). I walked down the famous Market Street to see the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and where many famous authors have spent a stroll. I was joined in spirit by Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain, and Walt Whitman. There is something about this city that inspires the heart of creativity in a person.
Love Statue in Philly
I found food! Mainly my hot breakfast spot I plan to stop at every morning. They have a delicious hot mozzarella panini’s and perfectly made triple shot lattes. I am in heaven due to it being a locally owned restaurant….and it on my way to the Convention Center.
Carmens at Reading Market Terminal
Right by the convention center is a fresh food and deli market. And the Cheese Steak at Carmen’s in Reading Terminal Market was all this girl needed to top the night off. The staff is delightful and the hoagie was delicious…of course!!! They may just see me again this week ….since they took the time to educate me that a real cheese steak is served with cheese-wiz! We all need to splurge sometimes….I think I might just stick with the provolone cheese though.
