我介绍了费城这座位于宾夕法尼亚州的城市，它不仅拥有约150万人口，更重要的是它在美国历史上占据着重要的地位。费城在1785年至1790年期间曾是美国的首都，在此之前，它也是美国殖民地时期大部分时间里的首都。在独立战争期间，费城成为了创建美国政府的开国元勋们的中心集会地。如今，我们依然可以在老城区或独立国家历史公园看到他们工作过的建筑，其中最主要的建筑是独立大厅，在那里，殖民地领导人宣布了独立，并随后讨论了政府的创建。每年都有超过260万人参观独立国家历史公园。公园附近还有国家自由博物馆，收藏了90多幅关于自由的绘画和雕塑。距离公园几个街区的地方是国家宪法中心，这是一个私人运营的非营利博物馆，于2003年7月4日开馆，旨在提高公众对宪法及其历史和重要性的认识。费城不仅历史悠久，而且美食丰富，例如雷丁终端市场，它是美国最大的公共市场之一，游客可以在这里找到各种各样的食物，当然也包括著名的费城芝士牛排。这种三明治由薄薄的肉片和奶酪制成，配上洋葱和其他配料，放在长面包卷里。至于哪里能找到最好吃的费城芝士牛排，那可是个见仁见智的问题了。
