I was reading some stuff on digphilly and I found a ranking of the best bars in america. A few bars made the list from Philly and while I have only been to Standard Tap, the others are supposedly very good.
Within the article, there links to 6 different lists (5 of which) where Philadelphia ranks in the bottom two. Me thinks someone at Travel and Leisure really does not like Philadelphia.
The Lists:
Most Attractive
People
Stylish
Adventure/Vacation
Spring Break
(Spring Break? Who in the hell, “I’m am going to Philly for Spring Break, whoohoo!”)
Even more bad rankings in the sub categories if you feel like browsing.
