Philly
Italian Market Festival
With fortunate timing, Philadelphia's historic Italian Market Festival is going down May 20th-21st from 11am-6pm. Just a few blocks from our home in South Philly, head down for live music, food, crafts and to watch the wacky and hilarious tradition of grown men climbing a 30 foot pole, greased with lard, at 9th & Montrose Piazza.
Angelo's Pizzeria
Jacob's ~favourite with a "u"~ cheesesteak. Heads up: pizza will be served on Sunday but honestly we're not sure there is such a thing as too much pizza.
South Philly Barbacoa
Famous tacos in the heart of the Italian Market. Watch the Chef's Table episode if you want to get the drool going.
Bok Bar
For an awesome view of Philly, check out this old vocational school turned rooftop bar.
Greenstreet Coffee Co.
Eva's ~favorite without a "u"~ coffee shop
Cuzzy’s Ice Cream Parlor
The only mint chip ice cream Eva has ever tolerated... but our strongest recommendation is chocolate w/ chocolate cake.
Mighty Bread Company
Do not skip the orange ricotta teacake!! And while you're at it... drop one off at our house.
Korshak Bagels
Best bagel in Philly. Go early, they sell out fast!
Wissahickon Valley Park
Great place for a walk in the woods not too far from the city (text us for our secret parking spot).
Rittenhouse Square
A perfect place for people watching, a farmer's market on Saturday morning, and great shops and restaurants nearby. To all those traveling... there's no sales tax on clothing in PA :)
Cherry Street Pier
Refurbished pier with a beautiful garden and art studios. A close walk from the hotels!
