Philadelphia

The Swiss retailer's store in the Plaza at King of Prussia, a former Tourneau converted to Bucherer in 2021. Rolex has its own boutique-style space alongside it, and the store is on Rolex's retailer list with Certified Pre-Owned too.

A 7,500-square-foot showroom on Montgomery Avenue in Ardmore, on the Main Line. It opened in June 2025 as The 1916 Company's first storefront under that name, more than twice the size of Govberg's old shop in Suburban Square, with displays for Rolex, Tudor, Breitling and IWC.

The Walnut Street showroom of the Govberg family's jewelers, a block off Rittenhouse Square. Albert and Sam Govberg started the business in 1916; in 2023 it merged into The 1916 Company. It's on Rolex's retailer list and sells Rolex Certified Pre-Owned too.

A Washington Avenue porchetta shop that shares its space with Small Oven Pastry Shop. The OG is slow-roasted porchetta and crackling in a garlicky jus on a seeded roll, and most of the menu is variations on it.

The roast pork counter inside Reading Terminal Market, from a family that started selling pork sandwiches out of a South Philly butcher's garage. Get the pork sliced or Italian-style pulled, with sharp provolone, broccoli rabe and long hots.

A South Philly roast pork stand on the corner of Snyder and Weccacoe, run by the Bucci family since 1930. The pork is slow-roasted from the family recipe, sliced thin and kept in its pan juices; order it with sharp provolone, broccoli rabe and long hots.

A Northern Liberties cheesesteak and pizza shop that bakes its own seeded sourdough rolls. The steak is hand-cut, pasture-raised rib-eye, chopped and seared with fried onions and American cheese; ask for a hot pepper on it.

A South 9th Street pizzeria whose cheesesteak became the one people line up for. The seeded roll is baked in-house, the steak is shredded and the cheese is Cooper Sharp. Get there early and be ready to wait outside.

A Roxborough mom-and-pop shop, just up the hill from Manayunk, grilling cheesesteaks since 1960. The fresh-cut rib-eye is chopped fine on the griddle so the onions and cheese get into every bite. Pick American, sharp provolone or Whiz, or ask for all three.
