Take an 'Always Sunny' Trip To Philadelphia
We're pained to admit that the Philadelphia shown in the F/X show "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" is only slightly realer than the New York of "Friends" or the Miami of "The Golden Girls." Still, even if you can't get a drink at Paddy's Pub, you can follow in their footsteps in the City of Brotherly Love (of the non-McPoyle kind).
If you haven't tuned in, the motley crew of "Always Sunny" run a fictional Irish bar in South Philly, which somehow leaves them time to insult and cheat anyone they possibly can. Philadelphia Tourism suggests Dirty Frank's in Center City (347 S. 13th St.) and the East Side Saloon (1823 W. Moyamensing Ave.), but any kind of dive that you can hang out in without getting thrown out of for saying something offensive would be a good bet.
Other suggestions include watching for hot waitresses from a vantage point at the Philadelphia Java Company (518 S. 4th St.) and walking along the Schuylkill River in the historic mini-district known as Boathouse Row (Kelly Drive), a landmark you can spot in the opening credits along with the usuals. "Always Sunny" joins other popular TV shows like "American Dreams," "thirtysomething" and "Boy Meets World" as making fictional Philadelphia a place we'd like to live.
