Re: philly

Jim's on south street & 4th... best cheesesteaks.... stay away from Pats & Ginos they are just tourist traps!

Run up the stairs at the art museum! (Rocky Stairs)

Walk around in Old City and check out the homes.

Ill think of more... gotta run to catch a train

Re: philly

LOVE the Rodin museum!

The Franklin Institute of Science is neat, too.

Re: philly

If you are into oddities, check out the Mutter museum. It is a rare gem.

I go to Tony Luke's for my cheesesteaks.

South Philly's Italian area is a nice walk. There are some hole in the wall restaurants that serve some of the best Italian food.

If you want a real food experience, nothing beats Reading Terminal. Everything under the sun is there. Cheesesteaks, Chinese, Soul food, beer garden, cupcakes, ice cream, chocolate covered cookies, teas, Indian food, Amish food. Save room for a whoopie pie. They are my favorite!

Swing by the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall (you need tickets to tour), toss a penny on Ben Franklin's grave for good luck. You can tour Betsy Ross's house for a small fee or walk down Elfreth's Alley (the nations oldest residential street).

Whatever you do, Philly is sure to be fun.

Re: philly

we went to Reading Terminal Market (got the roast pork and broccoli rabe sandwich from Tommy D'Nics, SO good!) saw the Liberty Bell, went to the Art Museum and saw the Rocky Statues/Steps.. I really enjoyed it! Have fun!
