Things To Do & Places to Eat
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Advanced Tickets Recommended. Mask wearing is optional.
Fashion District Philadelphia
This is in walking distance from The Loews, The W and Element hotels. Plenty of great shopping, eating & people watching nearby.
El Vez
We visited this restaurant recently and really enjoyed the ambiance and authentic Mexican food. Reservations are recommended.
Buddakan
We recently visited this restaurant. The ambiance and food quality is on point! Nice sized portions of high-end Asian cuisine. Although some early diners were in casual attire, later in the evening business casual seemed to be the more appropriate dress code.
Dalessandro's Steaks
Shanell enjoyed her first authentic Philly Cheesesteak here and it's one of Sean's favorite spots. This location is carry out only and there's always a bit of a line to place and pick-up your orders. It's definitely worth the wait.
South Street
This is an area for those looking for a diverse and lively atmosphere in the evenings. This street has live music performances, galleries, shopping, bars and restaurants which stay open late.
South Jazz Kitchen
We visited this restaurant and really enjoyed the ambiance, service and food. The venue offers live Jazz entertainment and large portions of homestyle soul food. The Jazz & Dinner side of the venue is separate from the restaurant side. Reservations for the restaurant side is highly recommended and for the Jazz & Dinner entertainment tickets are required and can be purchased by clicking the "VIEW" button.
