In light of the Eagles finally winning a Super Bowl I feel as though everyone needs to know why Philadelphia is the best city. Sure, it may have a bad reputation in a few ways, but the pros out weigh the cons when it comes down to it.

1. It's filled with US history!

Mostly everything that made this country what it is started in Philadelphia! Even the Declaration of Independence was signed here!

2. We have the most passionate sports fans.

Our fans are known for being rowdy, and at sometimes disrespectful. When it really comes down to it our fans have a lot of heart. We certainly get frustrated when we lose, but we will remain die hard fans.

3. It's hard to be bored.

The amount of bars, restaurants, tourist stops, and concert venues make it hard to find something to do.

4. We're known for our cheesesteaks.

Tired of mediocre pizza shop steaks? Just take a trip to Philly and stop at one of the many popular spots!

5. The Reading Terminal Market.

This place has everything from food, to clothes, and even a book store. Some of the popular stops are Bassets Ice Cream, Termini Brothers Bakery, Beilers Donuts, and DiNic's.

6. The Art Museum is comparable to the Met and the Louvre.

It houses many iconic paintings from the most influential artists.

7. Boathouse Row.

This place is so beautiful. It's lit up at night, and has a great view of the art museum.

8. The Philadelphia Zoo.

This place is huge,and houses almost every animal you can think of. It's also America's first zoo!

9. Wawa.

Who doesn't love the best convince store?

10. We know our city is the best.

We take pride in having the best city in the world, and we hope you will too.
