Local tips
- Navigate the city using the grid system and numbered streets, but rely on SEPTA's Broad Street or Market-Frankford lines to bypass heavy traffic.
- When ordering a cheesesteak at iconic spots, specify your cheese and onion preference quickly using the 'one whiz wit' shorthand to keep the line moving.
- Expect a standard gratuity of 18-22% at sit-down restaurants, as tipping is a vital part of the local service industry culture.
- Stay aware of your surroundings and stick to well-lit, populated areas in Center City and University City, especially after dark.
