Yo, ADRIEN! (IYKYK) Calling All Cheesesteak Enthusiasts on a Road Trip!
So you're in Philly, City of Brotherly Love (and cheesesteaks, let's be honest), and you've devoured your fill of Liberty Bell selfies and Rocky Balboa impersonations. Now what?
Fear not, my friend, because adventure (and maybe even better cheesesteaks, who knows?) awaits just beyond the city limits! But first things first, you gotta know where to steer that rental car.
Let's Get Geographical (Cliff Notes Edition):
Philadelphia chills in the state of Pennsylvania, smack dab in the middle of the good ol' Eastern US. But since nobody wants to vacation in just one state (unless it's California, and even then...), here's a quick rundown of Philly's state buddies:
- New Jersey: Just across the Delaware River, this state is like Philly's little cousin. Think bustling Atlantic City casinos and epic Jersey Shore vibes (think Snooki, but hopefully with less drama).
- Delaware: Another tiny neighbor to the south, Delaware is all about beaches, tax-free shopping (hello, souvenirs!), and a charming small-town feel. Plus, fresh seafood? Sign us up!
- Maryland: Craving some Chesapeake Bay crabs? Head south to Maryland! This state offers stunning coastlines, historic towns, and let's not forget, some serious crab feasts.
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.

Westward Bound:
Feeling adventurous? If mountains and outdoor activities are your jam, then swing west to West Virginia. Think Appalachian Trail hikes, lush forests, and cozy mountain towns. Just don't get so busy communing with nature that you forget to try some local Appalachian cuisine (trust us, it's delicious).
The Big Apple Beckons (Maybe):
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
Okay, this one might surprise you, but up north, New York shares a border with Pennsylvania! Now, we're not talking the hustle and bustle of NYC here. Instead, you'll find rolling hills, farmland, and a completely different pace of life. Perfect for a relaxing escape after the excitement of Philly.

Bonus State: Ohio
Rounding out the bunch is Ohio, known for its astronauts (Neil Armstrong, anyone?), vibrant cities like Cleveland and Cincinnati, and, of course, Cedar Point amusement park. Get ready for some thrills (and maybe a giant cotton candy)!
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
So there you have it! Philly's got options for every kind of road trip adventurer. Now get out there, explore, and don't forget to send back some epic travel pics (and maybe a cheesesteak for us folks stuck at home).
