The First Timer’s Guide To Eating & Drinking In Philadelphia - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"There are a few reasons to head to West Philly on your first trip here: to geotag your “in West Philadelphia, born and raised” picture, to check out some of our great African restaurants, and to get the city’s most treasured dessert from Siddiq’s. We're talking about water ice, which is basically an ice so finely grained it’s whipped, in flavors ranging from classics like lemon and watermelon to some creative ones like white grape and strawberry daiquiri with bits of real fruit. They also serve other snacks that will transport you to the Jersey Shore, like funnel cake and cotton candy, all of which can be eaten under the umbrellas out front." - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
