Things To Do
The Franklin Fountain
Our favorite spot for ice cream!
Reading Terminal Market
One of the oldest public markets in the nation with over 75 local businesses providing produce, meats, seafood, cheeses, baked goods, confections, and a variety of freshly prepared foods and gifts. Don't miss Beiler's donuts!
Jim's South St.
Michelle's favorite cheese steak (cash only)! Try it "wiz wit" and be sure to check out the Isaiah Zagar mosaics (creator of Philadelphia's Magic Gardens) upstairs. When you finish eating, walk south on 4th street to Queen Village to shop the vintage stores and boutiques.
Angelo's Pizzeria
Chris's favorite cheesesteak! No indoor seating and a line that can wrap around the block but don't be deterred. Explore the Italian market while you wait for you sandwich. Sample the cheese at Di Bruno Bros or have a sweet treat from Isgro Pastries!
Porcini
Cozy Italian BYOB with great food and a family atmosphere.
PHS Pop Up Garden at South Street
Once a vacant lot, the Philadelphia Horticulture Society has transformed the space into a lively garden with plentiful seating and gorgeous plant views. It's the perfect spot to gather with a refreshing drink in hand. We are hosting our welcome event here!
Schuylkill River Trail
Get your steps in, take a bike ride, join a yoga class, or simply relax on the grassy banks of this 30-mile recreational path that runs along the Schuylkill River from Center City Philadelphia through Valley Forge National Historical Park. There are access points throughout downtown, but we recommend South Street bridge for a beautiful skyline view of the city.
Spruce Street Harbor Park
Delaware River waterfront hang out spot featuring hammocks and Adirondack chairs for lounging and a variety of food and drink vendors.
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Climb the Rocky stairs and admire the city views while you catch your breath! Snap a picture with the Rocky statue, then head into the museum to experience the impressive collection of art spanning ancient to modern times.
The Mütter Museum at The College of Physicians of Philadelphia
Explore the mysteries of the human body and appreciate the history of diagnosis and treatment of disease through the Mutter's unique collection of anatomical specimens, models, and antique medical instruments in a 19th century cabinet museum setting.
Independence National Historic Park
Get ready for America's 250th birthday with a visit to the site where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed! See the Liberty Bell (free admission/no tickets required) and complete your visit with a drink at neighboring Independence Beer Garden. Seeking a spooky twist? Nighttime ghost tours are another fun way to experience historic Philadelphia!
Sabrina's Cafe
One of our favorite brunch spots serving all the classics and a rotating menu of creative specials! If you're craving something sweet, the pancakes and stuffed French toast are truly decadent. Also a great place for a morning mimosa or cocktail.
