I
don’t climb mountains, but I do climb stairs!
Whether they are marble or wood, winding or straight, steep
or shallow, I am determined to see what’s at the top. Climbing stairs can
produce a voracious appetite. Come along with me as together we revisit
my favorite sites and bites.
Rocky Steps/Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Five
“Rocky” films have featured the 72 stone steps of this iconic staircase at the
entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. After touring the museum, when it’s time for a lunch
break, head to the Famous 4th St Delicatessen. Since
1923, the white-tiled Famous Deli has been a living museum and a tradition in
Philadelphia. It is a place to nosh a little, kibitz a little, and
enjoy a lot. It is also the place where the chef whipped up French
fries for Jennifer Lopez, and chicken potpies
for Ben Affleck when they took over the place during the shooting
of "Jersey Girl" on September 6, 2002. Famous
Deli is equally famous for its delicious, award-winning cookies
that are baked fresh daily in the 90-year old delicatessen.
