215-339-9613 | | | | | Description: SOUTH PHILLY. Do a few things and do them well. Carman obviously believes in this philosophy the menu, which features five or six dishes, changes daily and is recited by your server. Quirky combinations and breakfast standbys with a twist are the norm; loyal patrons swing by regularly to sample Carman's old favorites and new concoctions. Call ahead to reserve a table the place is small, and it gets packed. After visiting once or twice, Carman will probably call you by name.

215-676-1950 | | | | | Description: NORTHEAST PHILLY. Aside from the catchy name, what does this checkerboard sock-hopper have that all the other burger joints in Philly don't? Well, of course, there's the nostalgia factor from the music down to the Coney dogs and onion rings, Nifty's is straight out of the Eisenhower days. Be sure to tap into the soda fountain; they offer over 100 flavors and free refills! And while all that is fine and dandy, what truly sets this cool cat apart from all the pretenders is elementary: Flat-out, they make mind-numbingly delicious shakes and malts. Try one. You'll see.

215-629-1093 | | | | | Description: SOUTH PHILLY. Judging from the ambience, you may expect to see Rocky in here chowing down on a roast pork sandwich. In point of fact, the joint's as good as any when it comes to serving up a cheese steak. And even though Shank's and Evelyn's is a "hole in the wall," this is also where the locals and the city's politicians gather for home cooked breakfasts. Yo! Hows 'bout two over easy with a side of browns?

215-625-3666 | | | | | Description: OLD CITY. This comfortable little shop is a great place to "fuel up" in the AM if you plan to tackle the popular Constitutional Walking Tour. Aside from all your favorite coffee drinks (good energizers, to be sure), Caramel also has some dandy, homemade tide-me-overs like Belgian chocolate bars, cookies and candies. In the afternoon, the menu changes a bit, offering terrific panini, specialty sandwiches, salads and soups. And while those are all tasty in their own right, you'd be remiss if you didn't leave room for a bit of dessert sampling perhaps a tartlet or a slice of tiramisu (just $5).

At Jim's, all steaks come with onions (that's just how they come, simple as that); subsequent "extras" range from "Whiz" and provolone to roasted bell peppers and mushrooms. Hoagies, soups, salads and even a few breakfast items round out the menu. Even if you're not in Philly, you can still enjoy a bite from Jim's They'll send a sandwich wherever FedEx delivers in the US.
