Even though South Street will not live up to the hype, Jim’s will deliver on the cheesesteak experience.Dinic’s Roast PorkIf you take the train into the city, you have a great chance of stumbling into Dinic’s. Located in the Reading Terminal Market, Dinic’s is the only place in there with legit cheesesteaks. With that said though, you should check out Hershel’s or any of the Amish vendors. They wares are far more rare in the city.Sonny’s Famous CheesesteaksThe end of the suburb trifecta. If you visit cool relatives from the burbs that like to have fun, they will take you to Old City. From there you can stop by Sonny’s. After a night out on the town in Philly’s historic district, you might as well eat the most famous dish the town can offer.
