Samantha & Christopher
Things To Do
Reading Terminal Market
Our hotels were chosen with Reading Terminal in mind for our guests to explore and indulge prior to the wedding. Some of Chris and Sam's favorite spots in Reading Terminal include but are not limited to Uncle Gus' Cheesesteaks, DiNic's for the famous roast pork and broccoli rabe sandwich, Hershel's for their delicious pastrami sandwich, Famous 4th street cookies (their chocolate dipped chocolate chip is Sam's favorite!) and Flying Monkey Bakery for their whoopie pies.
Philadelphia Museum of Art Steps
Be like Rocky and climb the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum. Fun fact our venue is just on the other side!
Love Sign
Take your standard tourist picture in Love Park under the Philadelphia Love Sign!
Independence Hall
See the room where the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were both signed and the Liberty Bell!
Saint Joseph's University - Hawk Hill Campus
Take an Uber to the place Chris and Sam met - Saint Joseph's University! Fun Fact, Saint Joe's mascot is the hawk, so they call anyone who met at SJU and get married HawkMates!
Angelo's Pizzeria
Home of Chris and Sam's favorite Philly Cheesesteak - try to call ahead to place your order since the line can be very long or order through Door Dash!
Dalessandro's Steaks
If Angelo's is too busy, head to Dalessandro's Steaks which is Chris and Sam's second favorite Philly Cheesesteak. P.S. this is close to Manayunk if you wanted to check out both suggestions!
Manayunk
Take a trip to Manayunk which is a cute little walkable town filled with restaurants and bars! Some of Chris and Sam's favorites include Winnies for Brunch, Manayunk Brewing Company for a beer or some pub fare, The Couch Tomato for some sliders and pizza, and Insomnia Cookies. Fun Fact - this is the bar town that Chris and Sam spent many late nights bar hopping in college!

Check out the Stadium section of Philly and grab a drink at Xfinity live where they have huge TVs and all sorts of sports being televised! They also have different themed rooms including a mechanical bull bar, karaoke bar and silent disco room!
