Travel and Leisure Magazine lists Philadelphia among world’s most underrated cities

The March 2011 issue so Travel and Leisure listed Philadelphia among the most underrated cities in the entire USA.  Here’s an excerpt:

“Home of the hoagie and the Liberty Bell, Philly has come a long way since the moment screen icon Rocky Balboa trained on the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum (he’s still there, by the way, cast in bronze). No longer the underdog, our nation’s first capital is attracting more than just students on field trips. One reason is its melting-pot food scene, invigorated by chefs such as Jose Garces, who runs eight Latin-inspired eateries, from Amada to Tinto; Marc Vetri, who helms Italian eateries Vetri, Osteria, and Amis; and Adan Saavedra, who serves Mexican haute cuisine at Paloma. Don’t Miss: Visiting The Franklin Institute, where the hands-on science exhibits and IMAX theater make learning fun for kids.”

It’s nice to see the city FINALLY getting some love from the national press.  The pundits are finally beginning to notice what residents of Philadelphia have known all along – that Philadelphia is a large metropolitan area with a small town feel.  Real estate prices are low compared to other cities of comparable size, Philadelphia is easy to drive in and around and the city is full of history and culture.  All things considered Philadelphia is a fantastic place to call home.
