Philly sights and foods!

Oct 25, 2007 13:19

We're heading to Philly this weekend and haven't had a single moment to look into things to see/do/eat. The Mutter Museum is my only requirement (and The New Pornographers show Friday night, the whole reason behind this trip).

Suggestions??

I had a great meal here last time I was in Philly:

if you're looking for stuff to do, the Art Museum has an excellent permanent collection. Also the Rodin Museum nearby is really great. It's small, but also free! Society Hill/Old City are nice to walk around during the day, but the bars get kinda fratty at night.

Where are you staying?

I think we're by Rittenhouse Square... if that's the neighborhood by City Hall and the Convention Center. We tried to get a room super close to teh Trocadero since we'll barely get there in time from NJ.

Have you been to Tewnty Manning? The yelp reviews are good.

Do you want to get dinner before the show on friday? Do you have my phone number?

We probably won't have time before the show... not leaving the office until 5:30 sharp! Do you still have a 216 number? Drop me an email if it's changed and I'll call you from the road.

Our hotel is only a few blocks from the Troc so we'll check in real quick and then head there or meet you for a drink if there's time!

Yeah, its still 216. Give me a call when you're on the road and we'll figure it out. I'm kinda northwest of Philly (but still technically in philly), so I'll have to drive into town and find parking and stuff.

This place is supposedly beautiful and awesome: http://www.almadecubarestaurant.com/. I've been inside but never eaten there.

If you want a cheesesteak, go to Pat's. Fuck Geno's.
