Cosmopolitan magazine thinks so. While wandering aimlessly around the Internet … not surfing cosmopolitan.com, of course, I happened to stumble upon the steamy women’s magazine’s “Hot City Guide,” in which Philadelphia, along with every cliche city and some not-so-hot cities (Jackson Hole, Colo., anyone?), makes the cut as one of the “hottest” cities in the U.S.
This is all fine and well, considering the City of Brotherly love previously donned titles like “Fattest City,” “Ugliest City” and even “Worst Drivers,” but once I saw Cosmo’s picks for what to do in Philly, I was disappointed.
Check out Philly’s Hot-City Guide page to see for yourself, but all I’ve got to say is that they list Chickie’s and Pete’s as the city’s best bar, and list that ESPN’s “Cold Pizza” naming it third best sports bar in the country as the reason why. Not to dis Chickie’s and Pete’s or say I was expecting a Philadelphia Weekly-esque familiarity with the city, but come on, what an obvious choice.
Speaking of bars in Philly, disregard that Cosmo post and check out TTN’s Philly Bar Guide, coming in the St. Patty’s Day issue.
