But First, Why Ask About Philly Time?
Maybe you've got friends or family on the East Coast and you're planning a virtual cheesesteak date (because, again, amazing food).

For those of you who are indecisive or just plain curious, here are some fun facts about Philly time:

- The Liberty Bell tolls at noon every day, so if you're in Philly, that's a pretty good timekeeper (although maybe not the most peaceful one).
