A good Italian deli, like in the Philly suburbs.

PP here, acknowledging that they are probably many places, including actually in Philadelphia. It's just that we had one down the block and one on the way to my in-law's house when we lived outside Philly.

I can walk to a Pizza King from my parents’ house. Be jealous.

Well, any good bakery actually.

I love a good bakery but is Levain one? Their specialty seems to be oversized underbaked chocolate chip cookies, is that right or am I missing other gems?

Nope, that’s exactly what it is and they are probably overrated but I love them.

Literally anywhere in Paris. Daily baguette and croissant and the occasional pain au chocolat would satisfy most of my needs. Throw in veggies and cheese from the local market and I basically don’t need to go to a restaurant ever again (though obviously I will).

I lived near 2Amys for several years and never understood the appeal. Plus the staff was always rude.

OK, I live near a WAWA and have honestly never gotten the appeal. What one or two things would you have me get to convince me to ever go there?

Wawa Dutch Chocolate Milk, Gobbler Bowls (thanksgiving in a bowl!) turkey sausage SIZZLIS, Coffee, wawa diet half & half (tea/lemonade), salad with chicken strips, entemenns cookies (nobody else carries them near me),, GAS, gift cards!
