Philadelphia, PA - For a foodie living in Philly, many old and new restaurants serve all kinds of fare. You will never run out of options - you can dine at different restaurants every day of the month, and there will still be new eateries to explore. However, most Philly restaurants charge a high price for the ambiance, service, and food. While most of them are worth the price, sometimes you want to eat well and not empty your wallet.

Geno's Steaks
If you do not mind a lot of calories, and you are more into champagne than Yoga, you will love Geno's.
