Things To Do
Our Favorite Philadelphia Restaurants
The Love: One of the famous Stephen Starr Restaurants where we had one of our first dates Trattoria Carina: Modern Italian food served in an intimate corner restaurant. Nick's favorite: chicken parmesan ("chick permish"). Ro's favorite: Almyra: modern Greek cuisine with very fun, lively vibes Giuseppe & Son's: One of the famous Michael Schulson's resturants, located underground. Moody, speak-easy vibes with great Italian food. We highly recommend their table-side mozzarella! Parc: Located along Rittenhouse Square, an iconic Philly staple with French cuisine. Amazing for brunch, French Onion Soup, and Steak Frites. Harp & Crown: great food, drinks, ambiance, very close to Union League
Our Favorite Philadelphia Bars
Pub & Kitchen: Delicious, up-scale bar food and good cocktails where you can find us most weekends. 15 minute walk from Union League Black Sheep Pub: a favorite Irish pub where we have formed many memories with friends! 10 minute walk from Union League. Ladder 15: formally known as a sports-bar, but also known through Nick and Ro's early years in Philly as the "Friday night bar". Ladder15 is also where Nick and Ro met, and the wedding after-party location! 1 block from Union League. The Ritz Carlton's Lobby Bar: looking for a close place to grab a drink near Union League? We recommend stopping by "The Ritz" and grabbing a seat around their lobby bar. 1 block from Union League.
Rittenhouse Square
Visit the very location where Nick proposed (south-west corner)! A gorgeous park surrounded by several of our favorite restaurants and entertained by a Saturday morning Farmer's Market that Ro & Nick frequently visit. The "Square" is about a 10 minute walk from Union League. If you are looking to dine, you can't go wrong with any restaurant that faces the square!
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Formally known as the Philadelphia Art Museum, this location is also known by many as where the iconic Rocky Steps and Rocky statue are. Take a jog up and down the steps to earn your champagne!
