Margaret & Corbett
Things To Do
Head House Books
Margaret's dad's bookstore! Located in Queen Village, it's just a short walk from the ceremony venue, Margaret's parents' house, and the wedding hotels. It's also two blocks away from Fabric Row–a cool place to shop local and one of our favorite neighborhoods to explore!
Barnes Foundation
One of the most beloved art museums in Philadelphia, known for its amazing collection of Impressionist paintings. Located on the Ben Franklin Parkway, just minutes away from other cultural landmarks in the city, this collection is a must-see for any art lover.
Independence Hall
The birthplace of the United States, where both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed! And just across the street, you'll find the iconic Liberty Bell (*Local tip: you *can* go inside the museum for a close-up view of the bell, but we recommend just taking a quick peak through the museum window to avoid the crowds - we promise the window will do it justice!)
Washington Square Park
Just steps from the wedding hotels, Washington Square Park is the perfect spot to eat your to-go sandwiches from Talula's Daily, play a game of frisbee, or take a quick park nap. Fun fact: Washington Square was also used as a burial ground during the Revolutionary War and is considered by many to be one of the most haunted spots in the city (but only at night, don't worry!)
Taco Heart
Breakfast tacos for the Texans! (Corbett-endorsed, of course)
The Philadelphia Museum of Art (aka the Rocky Steps)
Situated at the end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, this stunning museum houses a collection of world-class art alongside the iconic "Rocky" steps. After your obligatory run up the steps, you can even snap a photo with the statue of Philly's favorite fictional boxing hero (but fair warning, you may have to wait in line!)
Philadelphia's Magic Gardens
Philadelphia Magic Gardens is an immersive mosaic art installation featuring tiles, glass, and found objects. This whimsical space reflects the creative spirit of Philadelphia. (Tickets can be purchased in advance for those looking to avoid a potential wait)
Angelo's Pizzeria
Best pizza and cheesesteaks in the city (according to the *experts*). It's cash only but worth it!
Bloomsday Cafe
One of our favorite brunch spots!
Love City Brewing
Reading Terminal Market
One of America's largest and oldest public markets, serving everything from classic Philly cheesesteaks to international delicacies.
