It was a long drive over, with very few stops, a few terrifying moments, and the usual road related fun. I was excited to be in Philadelphia because it was my first visit, and I&#8217;ve always wanted to try a &#8220;real&#8221; (vegan) Philly cheese-steak straight from the source! Cheese-steak is an example of something that I probably never would have ended up eating as an omnivore, now it sounds good, but I think my adventurousness with food is coupled quite closely with the vegan thing. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, when I knew we&#8217;d be passing through Philadelphia, I wanted to check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giannasgrille.com\/index.html\">Gianna&#8217;s Grill<\/a>, but when we walked over to the address (507 S 6th St, Philadelphia, PA) it was a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackbirdpizzeria.com\/\">Blackbird Pizzeria<\/a> instead. Luckily instead of just being Vegan friendly like Gianna&#8217;s was, it was totally vegan, and still had Philly Cheesesteak.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/5311707631\/\" title=\"vegan philly cheese steak by MeShellG, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5165\/5311707631_03f7ed2ec5.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"vegan philly cheese steak\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nOn top of it all, there was cake of some kind.
