Tour through West Philly, street food style
West Philly is truly this city's street food heart (Temple University being a close scond), so this seems like a hell of an opportunity to impress a food-truck-savvy out-of-towner, or even just a Philadelphian who doesn't get out much: The Philadelphia Food Truck Crawl, organized by Ready to Nosh, takes hungry groups around to different west-of-center mobile food operations, throwing in some contemporary urban history along the way.
The tours, which run weekdays from 2 to 4 p.m. (tix available here), hits up vendors like Bui's, King Kabob and Sugar Philly (a total of five on each trip) and includes food and drink. Not little itty-bitty sample sizes, either. "Lots of food is served," says manager Jon Slavinski. "No one has yet been able to eat all the food that is offered at this tour." The tour also includes plenty of discussion on West Philly's architecture and landmarks.
