Things To Do
Center City
Reading Terminal Market: One of America's largest and oldest public markets. Our favorite vendors: Beiler’s Doughnuts, DiNic’s, The Original Turkey, Miller’s Twist Rittenhouse Square: where Robert proposed last November - one of our favorite parks. LOVE Park: Home to the famous LOVE statue, and right in the middle between Logan Square, a fountain you can actually splash around in (and seen in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), and City Hall, current home to the Portal! Oyster House: Our favorite date night spot. Surprisingly, one of the best burger’s in the city - and Robert’s favorite Old Fashioned! The Mutter Museum: Austin isn’t the only city that keeps it weird. This one’s for fans of the macabre and medical oddities. Goldie: Our favorite place for falafel and tehina shakes!
Fairmount & Brewerytown
Philadelphia Museum of Art & Rocky Steps: Just a few minutes walk from where we live, you can stroll the halls of artwork or race to the top of the steps, like Rocky Balboa. Eastern State Penitentiary: Steve Buscemi is the voice of the audio tour - what more do you need to know? Sport Burger: Don’t let the name fool you - some of the best cheesesteaks in all the city! Rival Bros Coffee: Just a walk down the road from where we live. You’ve gotta try their toasts and sandwiches, and hang out in their co-working space. Boathouse Row & Kelly Drive: The place to be for a beautiful sunset walk in the City of Brotherly Love.
Old City
Liberty Bell & Independence Hall: As the country celebrates 250 years, check out the place where it all started - in the rooms where it happened! United States Mint: The tour is free and short, but surprisingly fun. Don’t sleep on the short movie too! Elfreth's Alley: The oldest continuously inhabited street in the country. A Four Foot Prune: One of our favorite quirky thrift shops - filled with tons of Jim Henson memorabilia and local Philly merch. Khyber Pass: A great pub with a good beer selection and tasty food.
South Street
Retrospect: Always our first stop for vintage clothes and glassware. Repo Records: Best place in the city for old and new music. Spread Bagelry: Whether it’s at a Spread or not - you have to have a bagel while you’re in Philly! Spread has a lot of locations all over the city and their bagels are wood-fired Montreal style.
Fishtown
Pizzeria Beddia: We love to stop here while walking around Fishtown and share a pizza, roasted veggies, and a beer. La Colombe Coffee Roasters: This is the one La Colombe you HAVE to go to. It’s the flagship location with coffee classes, huge tables to work from, and great food and drinks. Jinxed Fishtown: A must stop place whenever we’re in Fishtown. Antique and vintage items and furniture - we even bought a couch here! The International Bar: Noelle’s favorite bar in the city. Great drinks and the right kind of vibes.
