15 Places In Philly To Eat And Drink On South Street

"Jim’s is back, baby. The retro counter-service spot on South Street is better than ever after being closed for two years following a fire. But the line around the block remains thanks to the delicious cheesesteaks and hoagies. All are served on a soft, buttery roll, and are generously packed with tender ribeye or quality cold cuts. You can get both for under $15 at the cash only spot (with an ATM on site). Bring a beach chair for the wait, and leave with one beautiful, meaty sandwich." - candis mclean, alison kessler
