Things To Do
The Brewed Awakening Cafe
This is a great local coffee shop right up the road from church. We love to stop in here on a weekend morning for a cold-brew or an American Dream (Jamie's go-to).
Words Matter Bookstore
Emily loves this locally-owned independent bookstore, also right up the road from church.
The Twisted Tail
Bar/restaurant near the hotel in Philly's Society Hill neighborhood known for its American whisky (or is it whiskey with the "e"?).
Cavanaugh’s Headhouse
Casual sports bar also near the hotel in Society Hill; great spot for bar food, drinks, and to catch a game on TV.
Jim's South St.
Obviously, you need a cheesesteak when you're in Philadelphia and Jim's is one of the best.
Lorenzo and Sons Pizza
Pizza slices the size of your head. Open late night!
Standard Tap
Gastropub in Philly's Northern Liberties neighborhood near the reception venue, known for its extensive selection of local craft beers.
Urban Village Brewing Company
Brewery located in Northern Liberties near the reception venue, also offering wine & cocktails and a food menu.
McGillin's Olde Ale House
McGillin's opened in 1860, making it Philadelphia's oldest continuously operating tavern. It's the scene of many youthful exploits for both Jamie and Emily.
Independence Hall
2026 is the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which happened right here in Philadelphia. Be sure to check out Independence Hall and the surrounding area while you're here!
