Marissa's Best of Philly List

I love eating (and drinking) around the city of Philadelphia (and it's neighboring suburbs) so I thought it would be fun to keep track of my personal favorites in a variety of categories. I realize you may disagree with me, I realize that you might think I'm totally bonkers for my "Best of..." list, but I don't care, because this is my blog and I'm entitled to my own opinions. So, without further ado, ***drumroll*** I now present my Marissa Says 2015 Best of Philly list...

      Emily, I'm glad you liked the list! I have one side note regarding the Cuban sandwich... they usually make it with a seeded mustard which is good and all, but I prefer the more traditional cuban which just uses plain old yellow mustard, so I typically ask them to sub that in. But I've had it both ways and it's still delicious! You'll have to let me know if you try it out.

    Great list, but the Custard & Cakes Creamery is in Roxborough, not Manyunk.
