This place is HIP. If you're a coffee enthusiast, this is a must. If you get a guy named Tom as your barista, that's my friend!
They also have a rotating mural wall that changes every few months so it's cool to check out who the artist they currently have is.

If you're going to do the iconic Philly cheesesteak, Pat's is the full Philly experience. Don't be swayed by the over lit, flashy cheesesteak spot across the street, Geno's. Don't go to Geno's. Go to Pat's.
There's also a cool bar at that intersection called Garage that let's you bring food in and eat there.
*Pat's is open 24/7 (I don't know who wants to eat a cheesesteak for breakfast but if you want to, they're open)
