...There's good eating in town, too, beyond the famed cheesesteak (chopped grilled beef on a greasy roll, topped with melted cheese). One of the city's favorite new places is the year-old Supper (www.supperphilly.com), where transplanted New Yorker Mitch Prensky offers up a menu featuring broccoli tastier than any kid could imagine (it's frittered with parmesan and bacon) and a luxurious financier pastry spiked with bourbon. The slow-roasted pork belly - served with spiced yams, pineapple mustard and greens - is a best seller. "Traditional, but re-imagined," Prensky says of the dish. "There are so many things...
