Things To Do
The Colonial Theatre
A historic movie theater in Phoenixville, near where Frank grew up. They show modern films and classic ones, including silent films with live organ accompaniment. Every year we attend Blobfest here to celebrate our mutual love of goofy movies.
Brandywine Museum of Art
We have a membership to this museum and go there every time they change exhibits. The Brandywine River Trail runs alongside if you'd like to go for a walk.
Valley Forge National Historical Park
We have taken many walks through this park and Frank proposed to Chase here on the same day she proposed to him.
Downtown West Chester PA
After each of our pre-wedding counseling sessions with Rabbi Mo, we would go on a little mini-roadtrip here. It's a little out of the way but very cute and there's a great vegan café called Love Again there.
Menagerie Coffee
Where we had our first date! We were so focused on our conversation that we didn't realize the cafe was closing until the staff politely asked us to leave. You probably shouldn't do that, but do visit!
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Run up the Rocky Steps! And then catch your breath while you look at the lovely exhibits.
Philly AIDS Thrift @ Giovanni's Room
The Gayborhood is the center of queer life in Philly and we love thrifting down there. This particular location is the oldest LGBT bookstore in the country and definitely worth a look.
Philadelphia's Magic Gardens
It's very visually impressive.
