Candy | Shane Confectionery
Established in 1863, this Philadelphia candy treasure has bragging rights to being the oldest continuously-run confectionery in the United States. Everything from their taffy to bars to bon bons are all hand-crafted. In 2011, the operation was purchased by the Berley brothers, who also own the Franklin Fountain Ice Cream Parlor. Bartender Al Sotack told us about this retro-sweet shop, “they have this huge library of turn of the century molds for hard candy and make everything from scratch.”

Vietnamese | Pho 75
Nothing special about the decor, but the low-key restaurant located on the corner of a Vietnamese shopping mall serves up pho that local chefs love...
“It’s super consistent and cheap and delicious and you sit at cafeteria tables. I get the number 14, (Tai, Sach) it’s made with steak and beef tripe.”
- Chef Michael Solomonov of Zahav in Philadelphia
“They do pho with beef tripe, the tendon and other stuff, but what I like about it is that they slice the beef rare and just let it sit on top of the soup, so it kind of slowly cooks.”
- Chef Joe Cicala of Le Virtu in Philadelphia
