South of South Street, between the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, South Philly is home to people that make up a lot of what Philly is known for. Disgruntled, perhaps. Rude, well, you decide. But where else can you find the best and most original cheesesteak in the world? Look for it at Pat's or Geno's. It might actually be at Jim's on South Street, but don't tell anyone we said so. Ego busting isn't a popular pastime in South Philly, so watch your attitude. How about a great hoagie, or some hearty Italian fare? Yeah, you better get down to South Philly. Add to that the Sports Complex, where you can check out the Eagles, Flyers, Sixers, and Phillies play, and South Philly becomes more than just a neighborhood, but an attractive destination for food and entertainment. In addition to being home of the city's expansive professional Sports Complex, South Philadelphia is probably best known for the open-air Italian Market. A great spot for truly local flair, South Philly is full of neighborhood bars and restaurants that you might have to search around for.
