Restaurants
These are some of our favorite spots! The Continental Midtown - 1801 Chestnut Street Where we had our first date! A great spot for drinks & light bites on their rooftop! Parc - 227 S 18th Street A Philly staple! We recommend going for brunch and sitting outside to overlook Rittenhouse Square Park. Apricot Stone - 428 W Girard Ave An incredible Armenian restaurant in the NoLibs neighborhood. Barbuzzo - 110 S 13th Street One of our favorite Italian spots for a cozy atmosphere. Amada - 217 Chestnut Street Iron Chef, Jose Garces', restaurant featuring authentic Spanish tapas.

The Franklin Institute - Not just for kids! A science museum with interactive exhibits. The Eastern State Penitentiary - A former prison most known for holding Al Capone.
Old City
Philadelphia's Historic District. This is where you'll find the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. It's an iconic neighborhood with cobblestone streets and 18th century architecture, and home to the oldest residential street in America - Elfreth’s Alley!
Center City
The hub of the city and where all of the hotel blocks are located! A great place for shopping and hitting some of Philly’s iconic spots. Reading Terminal Market - a great spot to get a cheesesteak or roast pork! Walnut Street for shopping. Great photo ops! - LOVE Park, City Hall, Chinatown Friendship Arch
Manayunk
Our neighborhood in the city! A 15-20 minute drive from the Loews Hotel. We may be bias, but we think it's worth a day trip if you're staying for the weekend. Main Street has tons of shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries, and a great farmers market on Saturdays! We recommend: Valerio for coffee, Mia Ragazza and Jake & Cooper's for dinner, and trekking up the hill to C&C Creamery for ice cream :)
