Melissa & Michael
Things To Do
Rittenhouse Square
Melissa lived in Rittenhouse area when she and Mike first met :) there are tons of shops and restaurants nearby the park. Grab a bite to go and sit on a bench in the park and eat/people watch. This area is also walking distance from the hotels!
Washington Square
This area is where Mike used to live when he met Melissa! Take a walk around and immerse yourself in the prettiest and oldest streets in the city.
Independence Hall and Liberty Bell
You may recognize these sites from the critically acclaimed film 'National Treasure' starring Nick Cage... it was also the birth place of our country. USA! USA!
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Possessing one of the largest Monet exhibits in the world, it's a must go for our fellow aesthetes. Already been? Check out The Barnes or The Mutter Museums.
Rocky Statue
"Yo Adrian!!!" Throw on your grey sweatsuit and run up the steps! Everyone's doing it.
The Franklin Institute
Nerd Alert... Harry Potter exhibit is here!
Reading Terminal Market
A city treasure with lots of good eats (Beiler's Donuts) and small businesses inside but be weary, it gets crowded on the weekends and during lunch time.
Kelly Drive
Rent a couple of bikes and ride down Kelly Drive! Right along the Schuylkill River with plenty of trees to set up a hammock and relax on the way. The river is not for swimming.
Krupa's Tavern
Our favorite neighborhood bar! 3rd generation, women-owned and just celebrated 100 years! This is the oldest women-owned bar in Philly. Cash only and no cursing... Tell Jim, Melissa and Mike sent you.
Cleavers
They say oysters are an aphrodisiac; try a cheesesteak... it's science.
