Geno's bright neon signage serves as a beacon for drunks all over South Philly who, if they are smart, navigate to the area by the neon glow, then go across the street to Pat's for a better cheesesteak with less xenophobia.

Joey Vento opened his cheesesteak shop in 1966. It quickly became famous for its over-the-top neon signage. Daytime-bright even in the dead of a Philadelphia night, there is so much neon here to see that lovers of neon signs will go blind with joy.
The best place to enjoy the beauty of Geno's neon signage (in our opinion) is across the street at Pat's King of Steaks, while enjoying a steak wiz wit (a cheesesteak sandwich with cheese whiz and onions). The the steaks, service, and atmosphere are much better at Pat's -- and you aren't blinded by the neon and flourescent glare of Geno's. I'm just sayin, yeah? Whatevah!!
