Sorry for the lack of a reply..been on the road for a bit.
Sly is absolutely right on the White House Subs in AC. It's a hole in the wall,
but the food is fantastic. When I worked at TPIR Live, we ordered from there a LOT.
I haven't eaten in AC in a while, so things may have changed. That said, the Trop has
some fantastic food options for couples. The new pier at Caesar's has plenty of options, with
some of the best views around. That said, I haven't eaten in there, just walked around.
One underrated place is in Bally's, called "Prime Place". Some of the best steaks I've ever had,
and I'm a pretty fussy eater. A bit on the pricey side, though.
givemethemic could probably give more options that would be located in places like Borgata and Harrah's.
There's also the new shops that have sprouted up in the last 2 years or so, in the walk. You'll notice the area as
you drive in off the AC Expressway. Plenty of chain restaurants.
If you are into Mexican, one place I'd highly recommend is called "Los Amigos" (1926 Atlantic Ave). Seriously,
some of the best mexican food I've ever had outside of Texas.
As for Philly...man, plenty of options. I won't comment on the cheesesteaks, because I'm a huge cheesesteak snob.
Head to 9th and Passyunk Ave and try a Pat's and a Geno's, just so you can say you had them. Tony Luke's is really good, as well. Outside of steaks, what sort of food are you looking for? I'll post some suggestions a little later..
Hope that helps, I'm a bit OCD with my posts sometimes...
A Must.
