Things To Do

Sonny's Famous Steaks

Solid cheesesteak in Old City. Andrew's go-to steak place when he lived in the neighborhood. When in doubt, just order a "whiz wit" (that's a cheesesteak with cheese whiz and fried onions in Philly-speak)

Independence Hall

You can go as long as you promise not to steal the Declaration of Independence

Liberty Bell

Ring in the celebrations with some history (note: bell doesn't actually ring - lame)

Reading Terminal Market

A huge indoor market with a ton of great food choices. Highly recommend checking out Hershel’s East Side Deli for EXCELLENT pastrami Reuben sandwiches. Our go-to for our out of town guests!

Philadelphia City Hall

Swing by during your adventures in Philly and wave hello to Billy Penn (the giant statue on top)

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Schuylkill River Trail

Picturesque walking trail on the river. Goes right past the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Rittenhouse Square

They have a great farmer’s market Saturday mornings from 10am-2pm! There’s also great restaurants nearby and outdoor shopping.

Washington Square

Michelle's favorite park in the city. Great for a stroll with iced coffee in hand.

Frankford Hall

Great beer garden in our neighborhood, Fishtown! Great neighborhood to walk around with fantastic shops, restaurants, and bars.

JFK Plaza (Love Park)

What's the City of Brotherly Love without Love Park. Right across the street from City Hall

Royal Boucherie

Cozy French restaurant in Old City.

Independence Beer Garden

Great indoor/outdoor beer garden right across the street from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.

Prunella

Cute little Italian bar/restaurant right near City Hall. We love sitting at the bar and recommend the Whipped Ricotta and Plain Jane pizza!

Double Knot

Great cocktails and upscale Japanese food. Entrance area is a cozy cocktail bar vibe, but the main restaurant in the basement has a really cool Japanese prohibition era theme.

Uptown Beer Garden

Decent outdoor beer garden right near Love Park and City Hall.

Attico Rooftop

Vibey rooftop bar a stone's throw away from our venue.

Parc

Fancy French food in Rittenhouse Square

Jean-Georges Philadelphia

Super fancy restaurant and cocktail bar in Center City (inside the Comcast 2 tower). Ride the glass elevator all the way up to the 60th floor for excellent views of the city.

The Franklin Mortgage & Investment Company

Great speakeasy where we had our engagement photos taken!

Sassafras

One of our favorite bars in Old City. Great cocktails and bites. There's also a great record bar (48 Record Bar) upstairs!

Andra Hem

Cocktail bar with cool vibes near Rittenhouse Square

Passyunk Avenue

Cool neighborhood area in South Philly. Plenty of good restaurants, bars, and shops to keep you busy.

Bok Bar

A converted elementary school turned bar with arguably the best skyline views of the city. A bit of a hike to South Philly, but definitely worth it!

Osteria

Michelle's favorite Italian restaurant in the city.

EMei 峨嵋

Some of the best sichuan food we’ve ever tried!
