Philadelphia: Cheesesteaks

lisa took me to that White House many years back, and it WAS great (for hoagies anyway), and I made the mistake of not remembering the exact location. How do you get there?

There was a story a few years back of a NJ state police hit, where they were monitoring the conversations of mobsters. And after listening to their conversations, they decided that "hoagies" must be code for "drugs" and "white house" must be where they were going to pick up the wholesale stash in Atlantic City. The cops were embarrassed when they stopped the cars on their way back only to find out it WASN'T code and they were in fact transporting HOAGIES.

(And for our east-coast-illiterate friends, "hoagies" are sandwiches made with delicatessen meats and cheeses on long rolls, typically by folks with Italian ancestry who bring their love of food, and lots of it, to Philly.)
