pancakes too.

I'm still trying to figure out the connection between red food dye and velvet. .

I know. Shore towns with bars attract that kind of crowd.

Any corner pizzeria can make a damn good cheesesteak. Philadelphia and its suburbs has innumerable fine restaurants.

Most cheesesteaks are topped with American or Wiz. It is what it is. Provolone is tasty but does not melt well.

Wine also. There are premium state stores that have an excellent selection (and will order anything for you). PA knows that it's competing with NJ and DE so they do have competitive prices now.

I've never heard that. We call the interior of the state "Pennsyltucky". There's Philly, Pittsburgh, and a whole lot of nothing in the middle. Agriculture is still the states biggest industry so we do benefit from fresh local produce, meat, and dairy products.

During the last 200 or so years, wealthy Philadelphia residents built summer estates north and west of the city (Germantown, Mount Airy, Chestnut Hill, etc) which are now part of the city itself or are immediate suburbs.
The Jersey shore has been a vacation spot for a little more than a hundred years, since 1870 or so.

Snookie's parents are Italian, so she feels like she is Italian, too. One of my friends was adopted, born on St. Patrick's Day, so she thinks she is Irish. No kidding.

My favorite response when someone tells me they are "Italian" is "so when did you immigrate here?"

We have a significant Italian population around here. It is interesting to watch them during the world cup of soccer . They are all driving around with Italian flags mounted on their cars. Every time Italy wins a game or advances in the playoffs they are honking their horns and screaming out the car windows as they drive by. Then when Italy drops out of the series the flags come off and they never heard of soccer.

And what do you tell people on St. Pat's? I'd suggest you stay out of the bars for your own safety.
