And its all $12 per entree!

Actually we call that low-end here in NY. I pay more than that for a corned beef sandwich sometimes. :)

I lived 3 years in Philly and my family now has a winter home in Scottsdale so I've seen both. I would pick Philly in a heartbeat.

I like arts, ethnic neighborhoods, history, and a bumping night life. I hate golf courses, grass lawns, SUVs and shopping malls. I don't mind a little dirt and noise if authentic culture comes with it. Enough said.

High end food, like high end wine, is not worth the multiplier in price vs. quality. I'll stick to the $12 establishments, which is most of them.

I don't mind a little dirt

This one is a laugh, and I don't know how it persists in this thread. Phoenix is the city with a smog problem, not Philly.
