FYI Philly and Localish team up for a tour of Philly eats, a racing school for kids and other things to do around Philadelphia
We teamed up with our friends at Localish to take you on a hunt for Big Foot, serving up dinosaur eggs and old school ice cream at Franklin Fountain.

Old school treats at Franklin Fountain

The Old City spot is an old-fashion ice cream shop and soda fountain, designed to take customers back in time! With amazing offerings and old timey uniforms, Franklin Fountain is certainly Worth the Wait.

Have a Jurrasic breakfast with this bacon-wrapped dinosaur egg.

This dish looks like a dinosaur egg and it's pretty eggs-cellent!

Chef Erik Ostman has worked at some of the top restaurants in the country, like French Laundry in Napa Valley. He learned how to cook watching his mother and grandmother, and now uses his fine dining techniques to make simple, scrumptious creations at his brunch-only Over Easy Breakfast Club in Philadelphia.

See how he makes the most popular item on the menu, and why it's called "The Dinosaur Egg"! And it goes well with a mimosa or whatever drink you'd like to bring to this BYO brunch spot.

Meet the Baby Tortoise on Wheels

Helix the Tortoise wasn't expected to survive because of his severe disability. But thanks to the kindness of this family and some Hot Wheels, he gets to play with the rest of his tortoise friends!
