This is a Not Cheesesteak Blog
Rest easy my fellow Philadelphians; you can now stop tirelessly defending our city’s seminal sandwich. This is Not a Cheesesteak is out there on the front lines of the internet giving negative reinforcement to horrible cheesesteak imitations throughout the country.		 Arby’s Ultimate Angus Philly
We’ve just about had enough of national corporations trying to cash-in on the deliciousness of our cheesesteaks. It’s starting to get pathetic and you’re making a spectacle of our beloved sandwich. NO ONE CALLS IT A "PHILLY".
Slippery Phones
Seriously, the more expensive a phone is the more slippery it will be. And while rubber cases do help the problem somewhat, there’s nothing like owning a phone you can throw down the street with reckless abandon.		 The Drop Test
Dropping your smartphone has become a right of passage. But instead of spending all that money on what amounts to a fragile, egg-like YouTube player, study up on the Drop Test to see which phone can endure the most late night falls. This will save you tons of valuable time and self-respect waiting in line fancy tech stores in Center City.

Actual Halloween Costumes
Whether you're going all-out with your Navy Seal/Obama couples costume or taking the ironic route as the inventor of the Snuggie, we salute you for actually making an effort.		 "Halloween Costumes"
Listen, no one is forcing you to dress up. Maybe you feel childish going masked to a party or perhaps you're just too lazy to drudge through the INSANELY PACKED Halloween Adventure on Columbus Boulevard. But adding the qualifier "dead" in front of something does not make a costume.
Fantasy Sports
When we win our match-up, we feel great. When we win our match-up against a co-worker, we fly through the doors of our office building with a level of excitement Monday AM has never seen.		 Real-Life Sports
The pleasure of winning is outweighed by the pain of losing. (see: Philies)
Indian Summer
It's mid-October and the temps are still in the mid-70's. This must be payback for last year's TERRIBLE WINTER.		 Indian Summer Discussions
Is this because of global warming? Maybe. Do we want to talk about the meaning of the weather? Absolutely not.
Union Transfer
Between their jam-packed line up of solid bands and a convenient location to boot, here's hoping Union Transfer will become the next space to dominate Philly's ever-burgeoning concert scene.		 Paying Concert Ticket Fees
If we wanted to spend all of our hard-earned money on fees, we'd finally register our car insurance to our city address. Just... kidding...
Fall Cocktails
Buttered Rum, an update on the Hot Toddy... there are tons more where these came from.		 Summer Cocktails
Leave the mojitos, margaritas and daquiris in the summer months, please.
