If you like Hefeweizen style of beer, this is the only place in the city where you'll find authentic German varieties! They also have a half off happy hour with appetizers (sausage and the like).

Gigantic margaritas. If you're from the west coast and craving Mexican food, this place is as decent as it gets. If you see a place that says "Mexican Post" do NOT eat there!

Imagine a pizza slice. Now imagine 3x that size. The pizza slices here are bigger than your head, guaranteed. Heard they were raising the prices, but a slice is less than $5. *Cash Only

People stand in lines to enter this place. We haven't tasted Jim's Steaks yet but we've certainly smelled them. Usually really popular on weekend mornings or late at night.

This place is AMAZING and it is a nice sit-down restaurant in the Headhouse District. The pizza is rich and ridiculously flavorful, unlike your common Domino's. They have olive oil flavored gelato.

You can take tours- this mint only makes collectors coins now I believe. However, the burial site of Ben Franklin is right next to this (Christ Church) on the corner of Arch St and 4th.
