First time in Philly? Here are some tips to help you navigate our fair city. 

Why yes, Logan Square is a circle. What else would it be?
There is no First Street. Ben Franklin thought God should be first. Front Street it is!
Yes, “Wawa” is a real word.
Yeah, we do have kind of a thing about Ben Franklin.
Don’t fear the scrapple. Also, don’t ask what’s in it.
Get a cheesesteak, but eat it like a real local and avoid the Cheez Whiz.
Soft pretzels are appropriate at any meal and pair well with most beverages.
Don’t ask anyone how to get to 14th Street. We don’t have one.
