Philadelphia teams reign supreme in Delaware Valley, and with the Phillies, Sixers, and Eagles providing year round entertainment, it\u2019s no surprise. Even South Jersey roots for the Flyers over the Devils. Must be the, shall we say, charismatic fans.<\/p>\n

2. Forget Coachella, Delaware Valley Is Home To The Real<\/em> Indie Music Fest<\/h2>\n

The Delaware Valley may not be the only place you can find a Wawa convenience store, but it sure has the highest concentration of \u2018em. And anyone who has been to one knows that Wawa has everything you need and more.<\/p>\n

Craft beer is a way of life in Delaware Valley. Flying Fish is the largest craft brewer in New Jersey and always has some rockin\u2019 seasonal beers, Victory Brewing in Pennsylvania makes the famous Hop Devil IPA, and Golden Monkey Triple, and a number of other \u201cbrewpubs\u201d, or small brewery-restaurants, dot the whole region.<\/p>\n

6. Delaware Valley\u2019s Got The King Of All Malls<\/h2>\n

Literally. The King of Prussia Mall just outside Philadelphia is an apt name for the largest shopping mall in the whole country. With 400 stores, this is the ultimate place to go on a shopping spree and a pretty prime spot to be when the zombies come.<\/p>\n

7. Philly Cheese Steak\u2013Nuff Said<\/h2>\n

\"28
\nThe Philly cheesesteak obviously was a product of Philly, but the sphere of quality sandwich craftsmanship extends to the rest of Delaware Valley. There are just too many good spots to get them all here, but Pat\u2019s King of Steaks is the supposed inventor of the sandwich and Jim\u2019s Steaks in South Philly is a local favorite.<\/p>\n

8. If Someone Offers You Wooder, It\u2019s Probably Not Sexual<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

While it may be unfair to ascribe the Philadelphia accent to the rest of the region, it certainly does have an effect. Subs are still called hoagies in South Jersey, youse are gonna hear \u201cyouse\u201d a lot, and wooder or wooter is a normal way to pronounce water. Oh, and for cheesesteaks, \u201cwiz wit\u201d is a concise way of saying \u201ccheese wiz\u201d and \u201cwith fried onions.\u201d<\/p>\n

9. Summertime = Going Down The Jersey Shore<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let the cast of Jersey Shore throw you off\u2013the 300 miles of coastline offer all anyone could want in a beach getaway. Seven Mile Beach in Stone Harbor Beach is obviously super spacious and one of the best beach spots in South Jersey, but it\u2019s hard to go wrong anywhere.<\/p>\n

10. It’s Worth It For The Salt Water Taffy Alone<\/h2>\n

From Shriver\u2019s in Ocean City, NJ to Dolle\u2019s Candyland in Delaware, salt water taffy is a way of life in the Delaware Valley. Not enjoying it is like not liking dogs or sunlight.<\/p>\n

11. Everyone In The Delaware Valley Heads To Atlantic City To Test Lady Luck<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

With 11 casinos, there\u2019s no shortage of places to ask Lady Luck for a dance. Chances are the old crone following you around the slot machines after you warm them up is gonna get to her first, though. Whatever, I\u2019m not bitter. Oh, you\u2019re also guaranteed to see at least three bachelorette parties in any ordinary night out in AC.<\/p>\n

12. Philly Is Full Of Good Impressions And Merion Has All The Natural Beauty You Could Want<\/h2>\n

The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia is home to more Impressionist paintings than any place outside of Paris. With over 25 billion dollars of Impressionist and Modernist masters, the collection is sure to impress even the snootiest of art snobs. And if you’d like to see some natural beauty, check out the Barnes Arboretum in Merion, with over 3,000 plant varieties to explore.<\/p>\n

13. You Can Also Thank Atlantic City For Almost Everything You Know About Free Market Capitalism<\/h2>\n

Monopoly\u2019s board was designed after Atlantic City, although some of the street names have been changed in the decades since the game\u2019s release. Hopefully, a night in the city won\u2019t make you curse out your friends and flip something over in a rage, as most rounds of Monopoly do.<\/p>\n

14. Atlantic City\u2019s A Boardwalk Empire<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user shinya<\/div>\n

Atlantic City had the first boardwalk in the country, and there\u2019s a reason it was the priciest piece of real estate in Monopoly. With the House of Blues, Ripley\u2019s Believe It or Not museum, a ton of greasy food, and good shopping, the boardwalk will never be boring.<\/p>\n

15. The Name\u2019s Contentious<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user Helga Weber<\/div>\n

Delaware Valley is, geographically, an apt name for the valley through which the Delaware River flows. Yet some radio stations have taken to calling it Greater Philadelphia in hopes to boost tourism to the region\u2019s biggest city. But, WPVI-TV uses \u201cThe Delaware Valley\u2019s leading news program\u201d as their slogan, so take that!<\/p>\n

16. But Sports Exist Outside Of Philadelphia Too (Gasp!)<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

While Philly may dominate the pro sports fan base for the region, there are still plenty of other teams around. For Minor League Baseball, check out the Lakewood Blue Claws, the Reading Fightin Phils, and the Wilmington Blue Rocks. If you want to get away from the mainstream baseball system altogether, the Camden Riversharks are a member of the Atlantic League of Pro Baseball.<\/p>\n

17. The Delaware Valley\u2019s A Collegiate Powerhouse<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

There\u2019s some seriously good universities in Delaware Valley, like Rutgers in New Jersey, Wesley College and the University of Delaware in Delaware, and Bryn Mawr, Albright, Temple, and Villanova in Pennsylvania. That\u2019s not even half the schools that make up the super smart Delaware Valley.<\/p>\n

18. Don\u2019t Forget Maryland<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

The Delaware Valley is mostly comprised of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. But Cecil County in Maryland is also a part of the region, and will not be forgotten, dang it.<\/p>\n

19. Farming Is Sharing, Literally<\/h2>\n

The Delaware Valley Farm Share allows members to receive farm-fresh fruits and veggies every other week, all year long. A.T.

21. Delaware Is Where You Go When You Want To Go On A Massive Shopping Spree<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Delaware is one of five states without sales tax, so even if you\u2019re not from Delaware, it may be worth the drive if you\u2019re going on a massive shopping spree. Or just have a raging hatred for the dollar menu being actually the dollar and six cents menu.<\/p>\n

22. Peddler\u2019s Village Is Where The Magic Happens<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

23. There\u2019s No Reason To Wine <\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

With 350 miles of shoreline, you can be sure the Delaware Shore gives the Jersey version a run for its money. Dewey Beach is a favorite for outsiders and natives alike, and Big Stone Beach along the central shore are relatively uncrowded if you\u2019re looking to really get away from it all.<\/p>\n

27. Bagels Are A Source Of Pride <\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user bark<\/div>\n

As you get further away from New Jersey, the quality of bagels suffers (it\u2019s a fact). Luckily, nowhere in the Delaware Valley is far from the nexus of bagel-craft perfection.<\/p>\n

28. The Best Sweet Stuff Is At Frankfurt Bakery And Deli<\/h2>\n

\"28<\/p>\n

The folks at Frankfurt Bakery and Deli in Dover are so masterful at making delicious food that they managed to come in 2nd place in the annual Cheestoberfest grilled cheese competition, and they don\u2019t even own a grill. Their sandwiches are as good as their baked goods, which is to say, perfection.
