brandon3000 · Jun 2, 2016

What's up fellas! Flying into Philly tonight through Monday. What are some great things to do besides cheese steak? (not looking for too much of the historical touristy stuff but I would like to check out spots that would be like, "don't miss this", or "you gotta check out...."

Really depends on what you want to do. There's a lot of historic sites here if you're into that. Oh and make sure you call everything a "Jawn" -Philly noun used to describe any and everything.

-Mitchell and Ness
-Liberty Bell
-South Street (shopping area, food, bars. pretty lively area)
-Philadelphia Mills Mall (aka Franklin Mills)
-Dave and Busters
-City Hall area is a big tourist attraction also
-The Franklin Institute
-A ton of bars and food spots but I can't recommend anything since I don't go.
-Benjamin Franklin Parkway (beautiful scenery here. The Art Museum is right around there with the Rocky Balboa statue)
- The Zoo
-Please Touch Museum (if you have kids)

Head up to the 12th street gym for a intense game of ball but pepper your angus in advance. :evil:

D&B is still very popular. Well here at least. The last time I went was a year ago, I was shocked how crowded it was. Especially on a weekend or if there's a sporting event.

You can go to D&B anywhere, tho :lol:

It's like asking for restaurant recs in Philly and telling someone to go to the Olive Garden.

Yeah but if you are visiting philly, you don't wanna waste time going there

That's like going to Italy and eating at Applebee's

brandon3000 · Jun 2, 2016

Any local spots I should check out? Food? Drinks?

Few people going to the Beyonce concert but i decided to just see the Finals. Good sports bars?

Wait really ? :lol:

That's embarrassing....

I don't travel much, like at all. Philly is all I know...unfortunately. Whenever I have family or friends visit they say they never heard of it. Which I thought was strange, guess that's why I listed it.

My bad OP

brandon3000 · Jun 2, 2016

it's all good. Any other spots?

datznasty · Jun 2, 2016

See who is performing at SOB's. Marsha Ambrosius lives in Philly when she's stateside, Musiq Soulchild, Goapele, the whole neo soul scene.
