Philadelphia has two iconic foods: the cheesesteak and the soft pretzel. For a great cheesesteak, some popular restaurants include Jim's Steak, Tony Luke's, and Pat's King of Steaks. Tourists looking for soft pretzel can find them at Brauhaus Schmitz and Miller’s Twist. Besides food, visitors can see Independence Hall, most famously known as the site where Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were debated and adopted. They can also visit the Franklin Institute, a science museum that hosts the Benjamin Franklin National Memorial.
