Philly is infamous for a bad rep from cheesesteaks to unruly sports fans. Yet, I’ve never imagined Philly being famous for being a healthy travelers’ destination. That’s one opinion based on a recent study by NerdWallet Health. Nerdwallet compared 50 largest U.S. cities on four aspects to rank the “Best Vacation Spots for the Health Conscious”: weather (can you spend time outdoors without getting burned?), availability of fresh foods, walkability, and hotel affordability. Philadelphia managed to come in seventh, beaten out only by New York, San Francisco, Portland, DC, LA, and Baltimore. So what does Nerdwallet's nomination of the 7th healthiest city say about Philly?
