Things To Do

Reading Terminal Market

One of the largest and oldest markets in the US, housed in the current location since 1893, offers a substantial variety of produce, locally sourced meats & poultry, seafood, cheeses, baked goods, and confections, not to mention a huge selection of restaurants and food vendors for breakfast or lunch.

Convention Center - Philadelphia Flower Show

Beginning February 29th and running through March 8th, this year's theme is "Riviera Holiday" for the nation's largest and longest running flower show (since 1829). Strongly recommended if you haven't been and/or have even the slightest interest. Get tickets ahead of time to secure a discounted rate.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Rodin Museum

Angelo's Pizzeria South Philly

Please go here for pizza (the "upside down jawn" if you have a group, slices from the counter if not) or cheesesteaks (w/Cooper American, fried onions, and mushrooms) on baked in-house bread. They sell out early, don't have a phone, are cash only, and have no seating. You're welcome.

The Good King Tavern

Mac and Katie's old French wine bar haunt when Mac lived in Philadelphia. Cocktails and interesting natural wines, not to mention a great menu of small plates.

Suraya Restaurant

The #1 restaurant in the country may be Zahav (located in Philadelphia) but locals will point you here for an equally amazing middle-eastern food experience where you actually have a shot at a reservation.

Pub & Kitchen

Elevated pub food and one of the best burgers in the city.

Serpico

Don't be fooled by the simple exterior facade. This modern elevated asian restaurant was opened by Peter Serpico, previously head chef of the Momofuku empire based in NYC.

Saté Kampar

Casual restaurant for completely authentic Malaysian food. Chef/Owner Ange Branca goes to great lengths and it shows.

Kalaya Thai Kitchen

Hands down the best Thai food in Philadelphia. A newcomer in late 2019.

Southwark Restaurant

Excellent cocktails and New American menu in an old Philadelphia row home.

Famous 4th Street Delicatessen

Your classic NY style Jewish deli in the heart of Philadelphia. THE BEST corned beef hash.

Ba Le Bakery

If you didn't know, Philadelphia has one of the largest Vietnamese populations in the US. If you've never had a banh mi (a Vietnamese hoagie served on fresh house-based baguette) do yourself a favor and get one here with BBQ or lemongrass pork. Their prepared chicken or spring rolls shouldn't be missed either.

South Philly Barbacoa

You may have seen Christina Martinez on Netflix' Chef's Table and forgot she is based in Philly. Yes, the barbacoa is that good.
