Things To Do
Old City Historical Sites
Old City is full of historical sites, dating back to the birth of the Nation. Explore the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Elfreth's Alley, the Revolution Museum, and so many more just steps from the hotel! More info is linked below.
Italian Market
Visit the many vendors in South Philly's Italian Market! Stop by Di Bruno Bro's for specialty cheeses and meats, Claudio's Specialty Foods, and the Bottle Shop on 9th and Montrose. Then grab a table or bench at the Piazza across the street to enjoy a glass of wine or beer and people watching!
Lucha Cartel
This is where Carolyn and Pat's story began. After a night full of margaritas, chips and salsa, and stories of their lives (and pets, of course), they both knew this would be the last first date they'd ever be on and the start of their lives together!
Independence Beer Garden
Enjoy some food, drinks, and games in this outdoor beer garden right across the street from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall!
Other Half Brewing
If you're a beer lover, Other Half Brewing in Fishtown has a tap list as large as its outdoor yard, perfect for enjoying the summer weather with a crisp IPA.
Reading Terminal Market
Do you like being overwhelmed? Well, you're in luck! One of America's oldest and largest public market, Reading Terminal has over 80 merchants to choose from!
Spruce Street Harbor Park
With colorful hammocks, floating gardens, beautiful trees adorned in technicolored lights, Spruce Street Harbor Park along the Delaware River has a variety of vendors and fun activities to enjoy!
Ristorante Pesto
If you're in Philly for an extra night and looking for a dinner spot, try one of Carolyn and Pat's favorite Italian restaurants located in South Philly! They are BYOB but also also have a full bar with fun gelato martinis!
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Located on the Banks of the Schuylkill (Skoo-kill) River, the Philadelphia Museum of art is home to so much more than the famous Rocky Steps. Head inside to view over 240,000 pieces of art spanning over 20 centuries. Around the corner, you can find the historic Philadelphia Waterworks and Boathouse Row too.
