Pat's and Geno's are the 2 big names but those are more like south philly and you'd probably have to take a ride to get there. They are the tourist steak places and not the best cheesesteaks. They used to be great when I was a kid but they steadily went downhill for years, going down in quality and size. They are still better than most places though. I prefer Geno's to Pat's but why not try both since they are across the street from each other.
You could go to South street and get a steak from Jim's which is good, but the best cheesesteak is located in the Roxborough section of Philadephia - Dallesandro's (Chubby's across the street is good too). If you want to go out one night, this would be a good trip as well, since Main Street in Manayunk, philly is right around the corner. They have a lot of cool bars and the Manayunk Brewpub. A friend of mine owns a bar/restaurant on Main Street called Lucky's Last Chance, which has won awards for their creative burgers if you get hungry again late night. This area of Philly is probably about a 10-15 minute Uber ride from where you are staying. It's my favorite section of philly when you're not checking out the historical sights.
