I don't think they even try to be one. I was just thinking of it as a place to have some beers and food near Penn. > Take him to South Street and make him wait in line at Jim's for a > real cheesesteak, like a real Philadelphian. Real Philadelphians get their cheesesteaks from their corner pizza place, and leave Jim's to the tourists and kids from the suburbs. :) But having said that, I do like Jim's better than than the more famous places in South Philly, and South Street's a good place to wander around afterwards.
