Things To Do
The Refectory
Our recommendation for: upscale dining and craft cocktails near Villanova Located on Villanova's campus and just a short walk from the Church, this is a great choice for post-ceremony food and refreshments! Parking is available across the street from the restaurant in the I-1 Parking Garage on South Ithan Avenue.
Kelly's Taproom
Our recommendation for: casual pub fare near Villanova A legendary Villanova watering hole since the 1960's and one of our favorite spots to cheer on the Wildcats. After Kyra first toured campus, this is where her Gramps took her for a Guinness. Our other picks for a casual meal in Bryn Mawr include The Grog, Gullifty's, and Xolo Tacos.
Aqimero
Our recommendation for: drinks and light fare near The Union League Located in the historic lobby of the Ritz Carlton, right next door to The Union League. If you're looking for a place in the city to gather before cocktail hour, this is a great choice!
Reading Terminal Market
Our recommendation for: activities in Philadelphia Stop by one of America's largest and oldest public markets, featuring over 80 merchants and 26 restaurants serving up breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A must-see for foodies and history buffs looking to sample a taste of Philly!
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Our recommendation for: activities in Philadelphia One of the country's top 5 art museums and home to the famous "Rocky Steps."
Grab a Philly Cheesesteak
Our recommendation for: activities in Philadelphia For an iconic Philly experience, head to the intersection of South 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue, where you can try cheesesteaks from rivals Pat's and Geno's. Max prefers Pat's, but Kyra thinks Cleaver's (on 18th Street) has the best cheesesteak in Philly.
Independence Hall & the Liberty Bell
Our recommendation for: activities in Philadelphia Independence Hall is the birthplace of America - the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were debated and signed here in 1776 and 1787. The Liberty Bell, an iconic symbol of American independence, is displayed in front of Independence Hall. Visitors are required to reserve tickets in advance (online or by phone) to tour Independence Hall, but no reservations are required for the Liberty Bell.
