Philly Ranked America's 24th Best City

Numbers

By last count, we're a little obsessed with numbers: Why did the phone number she gave me last night only have 6 digits? How many dining dollars does Hillel charge? How many sheets of toilet paper does my Rodin roommate use per bathroom visit? (See below to check your answers**).

So we're a little confused at why we stand in at #24 in our latest ranking. According to Bloomberg Businessweek's list of America's Best Cities, Philly--despite being Pennsylvania's unhealthiest county--is sorta desirable to live in. Apparently, the folks doing the ranking didn't pay more attention to our nightlife and shopping hotspots.

Upset about our latest slump in the rankings? Grab some comfort food and drink away your sorrows in one of the city's 3,821 restaurants and 400 bars.
