You Wanna Get This Party From New York to Philly? How Many Miles You Askin'?
Let's face it, folks, there's nothing quite like the thrill of the open road (or a comfy train seat, no judgement here). You've got your Bruce Springsteen playlist pumpin', that travel coffee that tastes suspiciously like burnt sugar but hey, it keeps you goin', and the dream of cheesesteaks and Liberty Bell selfies dancing in your head. But before you hit the gas (or yell "next stop, cheesesteak!" at the bus driver), there's one crucial question: just how far is Philly from the Big Apple, anyway?
