Things To Do
Yards Brewing Company
Yards is our favorite brewery in Philly! It's a huge space with great beer, yummy food, and a covered patio. Great for a casual afternoon bite.
Love City Brewing
Another great brewery! A bit of an odd location, but they have a lot of seating (indoor and outdoor) with a nice relaxed vibe and pizza from a permanent food truck, Viva. Perfect for an afternoon brewski.
Giuseppe & Sons
If you're looking for a drink and a bite before the Welcoming Party on Friday, Giuseppe & Sons has one of the best happy hours in the city!
Good Dog Bar
One of our go-to watering holes with great elevated bar food and a pool table (on the third floor). As a fun bonus, there is a picture of our dog Edgar on the wall!
1-900-ICE-CREAM
If you're anywhere near Center City/Rittenhouse, you have to try this fabulous local ice cream shop! Their specialty is fun flavors of soft serve. Check out their instagram for daily flavors @1900icecream.
Honey's Sit 'n Eat
Best breakfast spot in the city! If they have their homemade apple cake on special, do yourself a favor and order a slice (or two).
Eastern State Penitentiary
Open daily from 10am - 5pm. Audio tour included with admission ($17 for adults).
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Admission to the art museum is “pay what you want” the first Sunday of the month (the day after our wedding!) and every Friday from 5pm - 8:45pm. If you go, refuel after your visit with a cappuccino and a pastry at Musette, or a pint at The Black Taxi (both a few blocks away on 25th street.
Barnes Foundation
One of our personal favorites! The Barnes houses the private collection of the late Dr. Albert C. Barnes - an impressive assortment including works by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso. The Barnes is a lovely bite-size alternative to the main art museum, particularly if you only have an hour or two to spare.
Rittenhouse Square
A delightful park for people watching or relaxing with a coffee under the trees. Check out the weekly farmer’s market on Saturday from 10am - 2pm.
Elfreth's Alley Museum
Take a scenic stroll down the oldest residential street in America.
