Point of order: where is that?
Reading Terminal Market, a Philly thing.
If you mean Jaytee’s photo, I can only guess not a Philly thing.
Haven’t read the whole thread, so not sure if it’s all about hoagies vs. subs or Taylor Ham vs. pork roll. But felt I had to jump in with some good things to say about the city:

How long does it take to get to Ocean City from there? Or to anywhere on the Jersey Shore or near the ocean?
With minimal traffic, you’re looking at about 90 minutes.

Oh, good, so just about as long as it used to take to get to my childhood "summerhouse" in Hampton Bays on the East End. (But that house belongs to my sister now, so though it's nice to have in the family still, I don't get there nearly enough.)
Thanks for the info!
I grew up in Trenton, running down with Dad and an uncle to see the Phil's a few times a year. My Philly taste/smell is a slightly cold, exhaust infused pretzel. They sold the leftovers after the game to the folks like us stuck in traffic waiting to leave. Nice and cheap, and probably lead infused since this was the early 70's. I miss them.

May I suggest a change of venue?

Apparently it’s only available at the location in Langhorne. About an hour from MapSO. That’s too long a drive on the way back to expect me to not eat the whole thing.

Don’t be silly. Just buy multiples!!

My NJ native aunt moved to a town near Youngstown. Always used to take back liverwurst, Shickhaus bologna and bagels. Lots and lots of bagels.
