One of the nation's oldest and largest public markets in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, Reading Terminal Market is perfect for a meal or a midday snack. Our personal recommendation – the apple dumpling at Dutch Eating Place.
Our favorite Christmas tradition is taking in the beautiful nighttime Christmas lights display at this botanical garden. Well worth the 30 minute drive from the hotel!
10 minutes from the hotel, Valley Forge National Historical Park is great for a picturesque walk and a dose of American history.
If it's your first time in Philadelphia, you can't leave without getting a cheesesteak or a roast pork (Mitchell's preferred Philly sandwich). Our favorites include John's Roast Pork, Dalessandro's, and Woodrow's. Whatever you do, avoid the Pat's and Geno's tourist trap.
