Breakfast recommendations don’t come easier than in Pennsport, home to The Dutch – a darling of neighbors and food critics alike.

Practically as essential to being a Philadelphian as seeing the Liberty Bell at least once, the Mummers Museum tells the story of the eccentric South Philadelphia New Year’s Day marching-and-costuming tradition – popularly known for its blue-collar origins.
