It's not "Hoagie Sandwich", it's just hoagie.

Anyway...Philly's "known for" stuff is all food :|
Maybe a Liberty Bell souvenir?

Are Philly Cheesesteaks from Philly? If so, you should check those out. They're pretty awesome :D

It does seem like it's mostly food, though... other, non-perishable options include:

  • Electronics. These are imported to the US at a relatively low price, and we have a weak/no VAT and low sales tax in many states-- if you're planning on getting something like an ipod, it might be worth getting in the US, since it'll be lower on the price.
  • Clothing and textiles. These are imporated to the US at a low price, and we have free trade agreements with low-wage countries. Jeans and the like especially will be cheaper, even in the latest styles.
  • Side note: Make sure to save your receipts and ask for a sales tax refund at the airport, then declare in customs when you get back home and pay the VAT. Overall, you'll save money.
When you stare into the iCCup, the iCCup stares back.

Ask for pictures of fat people. That's all I do whenever I go to the US. Especially in Florida.

Horrible is a matter of perception, I suppose. They are greasy and nasty, though.

That's because tourists always go to the shitty places (Geno's and Pat's in the Italian market), when in actuality you have to go to the food carts to get the good steaks.

Philly isn't especially known for electronics or textiles, you're talking about US in general.

Also, people need to pay attention: he's not going to Philly, his mom and sister are. Cheesesteaks aren't really an option.

Oh...MY HEART!!! You probably went to all the so called "famous" places to get a cheesesteak. The best places are usually the smaller little shops :D

Anyways, get something from Chinatown. They always have neat little gifts. Anything will do! If they stop at any of the museums like the Franklin Institute or Academy of Natural Sciences the little gift shops in there have cool stuff as well.
There's a class for this (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
