ABRIDGED Philly guide By neighborhood

CENTER CITY EAST Shane’s Confectionery & Franklin Fountain An ice cream and candy shop that are a portal back in time. Walk through Society Hill Amble up and down the streets between S. 2nd to S.6th and Walnut and Lombard. Redding Terminal Where the Amish have brought their goods to be sold for over a century, but now a market of all types. Touristy but worth it. Locust Bar Sunday night karaoke is the best time to go. Once saw a man with a walker and an IV drip wheel himself in from Jefferson Hospital across the street and sing “My Way”. CENTER CITY WEST Goldies Falafel sandwich is great but the dairy free tahini shake is game changing. Metropolitan Bakery Can’t go wrong with anything from here, though I’m partial to the millet muffin, the chocolate cherry bread, fennel pretzel and I HIGHLY recommend getting a lemon Pequea Yogurt. Mutter Museum If you’re feeling up for it and you can stomach this after all the food this is one of the greatest museums in America. It’s a medical oddities museum. Grace Tavern Grace has my favorite burger in town. It’s messy and the blackened green beans are great too. Curtis Institute of Music One of the most esteemed music schools in the nation where you can catch free performances by students and visiting musicians. WEST PHILLY Fischer Fine Arts Library A Frank Furness building on UPenn’s campus and is normally open to the public. Queen of Sheba An old haunt of mine. Part dive bar, part Ethiopian restaurant. Great place to watch daytime TV over injera. NORTH PHILLY Pizza Brain Metal head pizza shop. Wagner Free Institute of Science Like no place on earth. A free natural history museum that’s frozen in time. Once went to a lecture on botched taxidermy here. PS - if you’re driving I highly suggest a stop in Lambertville, NJ just for the Boat House (bar) and the vampire room at the Antique Center.

A few Standouts from last visit

Dahlak Ethiopian Bar in Cedar Park - The food is delicious and they have live music, DJs/Dance parties, and karaoke on the weekends. Also hookah deals if you’re looking. Cafe La Maude - A French and Lebanese Restaurant with great brunch and it’s BYOB Honey’s Sit and Eat was also great breakfast. Probably an obvious one but me and my friends really liked the Magic Gardens. They're gorgeous and it felt immersive/interactive. The Please Touch Museum was also fun for this reason. Also there’s a Barcade in Fishtown/North Philadelphia that was really fun. We stayed there for so long after happy hour. The games were great and they had a great beer selection and it just felt very…classic.

Hotel room to yourself

Put on the robe, turn on adult swim or whatever, crank the ac, eat a late night snack in one bed and sleep in the other. The freedom of impersonal liminal space.
