The cutest place to eat. Marcelino took care of us and was absolutely incredible. The apricot siracha wings and the angry spaghetti were 10/10. They have a cocktail list that is Instagram worthy. We will definitely be back again.
Blondie
Incredible food, drinks and experience. This little speakeasy is a must see. It is a bit expensive, but you need to try it at least once. It’s a very intimate setting. They only have around 12 or so tables in the restaurant along with a small area fo...
Alpen Rose
Somo is the perfect place to go to brunch with your girls or partner. They offer a great selection of sweets and savory. You can either dress up or dress down. Definitely recommend.

Green Eggs Cafe was my first brunch spot when coming to Philly. They have two locations and their food selection is amazing. If you want to wow your family and friends, bring them here. Their Buffalo mac and cheese is incredible and they have such a ...

C & C Creamery is our go to ice cream spot. They have a wide variety of flavors and they release new flavors each season. Their prices are good, but expect to wait around 20-35 minutes because the lines can sometimes be insane.

Dilworth park usually always has something going on no matter the time of the year. My favorite time would be the Christmas Village that they set up at the end of November through to December. They offer vendors, ice skating, German food and drinks, ...
Dilworth Park
Take a self guided tour through one of the most famous prisons. We love to tour the penitentiary around Halloween time. They do provide “spooky” after hour visits during this time as well.
Eastern State Penitentiary
The Reading Terminal Market is a must hit when in Philly. They have all sorts of cuisine varying from the latest hot food trends to comfort food. Perfect place to bring your friends or family who are traveling to the area. They also have small shops ...
Reading Terminal Market
The art museum isn’t just for art enthusiasts. This past weekend we went to visit and there was so much to see. Throughout the entire summer you can also go for free if you have a military ID. There’s a ton of art, armory, and places for quick bites ...
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Uptown Beer Garden is an outdoor bar that goes all out for the holidays. They also have fun holiday themed drinks that come in little trinkets. Would definitely recommend going a few weeks before the holidays as it does get packed closer to the holid...
