Comment on China Town 2 by AwkwardScience
It hasn't been the biggest city for a long time, nor a national capitol.
I'd never been to Roxborough/Manayunk because it was the yuppie area, but a singer/songwriter friend of mine from the Los Angeles area played somewhere in that area once.
I always liked the food in Philly, whether you were slummin' it or you had big money. I gotta say that the best Chinese food I got in the city was from a truck that worked the UPenn and Drexel campus area. They had a huge line because they cooked the food fresh in front of you.

Philly is definitely a culinary city. The food defines Philly culture in every way. The cheese steaks, the pretzels, the fried chicken.
Hmm...outside of Popeyes, I never had fried chicken there. Mostly, I ate Asian food. Upper Darby has an H-Mart now, which has some good and inexpensive Korean food, plus Bona Cucina is a good Italian restaurant in the township. There is a good Japanese restaurant just off City Line Avenue.
