Where was Philly's most famous sandwich actually invented? 🥪 A) A fancy Center City restaurant B) A hot dog cart C) A butcher shop, drop your guess below, I'll confirm in the comments. Got a question of your own? Ask away, might end up in the next 'Ask Tom.' 9AM daily.

Look closer at Old City Hall's top-left window next time you're in the historic district 👀 Someone's taped up a tiny photo of Nicolas Cage, a nod to National Treasure, parts of which were filmed right here in Philadelphia. We walk right past it. 9AM daily.

This is the only post office in America that doesn't fly the American flag, and it's not an oversight. It sits on the site of Ben Franklin's original post office from 1775, before the Stars and Stripes even existed. Walk right by it on our 9AM tour. 🇺🇸🚫

‘It was evident Tom had a passion for history and his city. We would recommend his tour to everyone!' 🔔 That passion is what makes every 9AM tour different, even when the stops stay the same. Thank you, Karen!
