Things To Do

Sampan

Sampan is a sit-down restaurant where we had our first date & where we celebrate our anniversary every year! They have awesome small plates and cocktails. We recommend the cheesesteak bao buns, they are delicious and give you a little taste of Philly!

Victory Brewing Company Philadelphia

Some of our favorite date nights have started or ended at Victory Brewery! They have great, local beer. We recommend trying the Sour or Berry Monkey!

PHS Pop Up Garden at South Street

Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has a few summer popup beer gardens throughout greater Philadelphia. Alex, Winnie and my favorite is in Manayunk. We added more information below to help you understand why it’s a special place! Welcome to the PHS Pop Up Garden at South Street, the perfect retreat from busy city life, where the vibes are magical and filled with color. Pull inspiration from our garden designs for your own patio while sipping on frozen cocktails and let the world slip away. By joining us at the Pop Up Gardens, visitors play an important role in advancing PHS’s mission of using gardening to advance the greater good.

Parc

Parc recalls the chic brasseries of Paris, serving traditional bistro fare in a charming and comfortable space. This stylish addition to Rittenhouse Square pays tribute to French café culture, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week. Ideal for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, the menu is filled with classics such as onion soup, escargots, steak frites and towering plateaus de fruits de mer.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

This is a great place to go if you have some free time and are interested into art. The Art Museum is also home to the Rocky steps (& Rocky statue) if you would like the challenge of running up them!
