...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...

"People are spending less money for sure," he says, shaking his head. "One year ago, there would be double the amount of people here. These are terrible times." At a nearby restaurant, only four of the 16 tables are occupied at dinner time. "Everyone...
