Things To Do
Tired Hands Fermentaria
Our favorite brewery in the Philadelphia area! If you like NE style IPAs, Alien Church is a must-try!
The Franklin Institute
If you are planning to spend some time in Philly (and especially if you're traveling with kids), we can't recommend the Franklin Institute enough! It's one of the most highly rated science museums in the country and has some really cool and interactive exhibits.
Frankford Hall
Frankford Hall has been a favorite spot of ours for years. Its a German-style bar, where you can get pretzels, beers by the liter, and play some games. It's a great place for a beer on a nice day.
Wissahickon Valley Park
A favorite spot for a hike close to the city with plenty of trails to explore
Community
This is Tim's and my favorite neighborhood spot! We live just down the block and sometimes just go there to split a piece of the OUT OF THIS WORLD cheesecake.
Reading Terminal Market
Philly's Reading Terminal Market is a great place to grab some of Philly's best! Our recommendations: Carmen's Philly Cheesesteaks, DiNic's, and the Famous 4th St. Cookie Company.
John's Roast Pork
If you're looking to make a special trip just to get the 'best cheesesteak in Philadelphia', John's Roast Pork is arguably the best place to do so!
Jasper's Backyard
Jasper's Backyard is very close to the hotel and is a great spot to get a nice meal and a cocktail.
The Great American Pub
If you're just looking for a Guinness close to the hotel - The Great American Pub is a good spot for that!
