What to do in Philly?

JimNasium · 06-19-2006, 09:19 AM

I'm headed there later this week and will be staying downtown pretty close to the Benjamin Franklin bridge. I've never been and will have the evenings free.

Go the Chiefs tavern/bar..Charlies ? Not sure of address

Throw some batteries at the dumbass Iggles fans. Pay your respects to Rocky Balboa. Eat a Philly Steak and Cheese sandwich.

I remember seeing the NFL Films segment on it and this past thread

There is a cool Dave & Buster's right there - Andy Reid does his tv show from there. If nothing else, you can drink and look at young waitresses.

Go to Geno's and order a cheese steak in Spanish. They like that I hear.

I've hung out in Philly many times. Go to South Street, but do that during the day, night it's a little iffy. In the evening go downtown or stay aroudn the historic district. Lot's of nice little taverns there.

The Ben Franklin bridge is on the far eastern end of town. You'll want to take a cab to downtown.

There's a place called Delila's there, I think it's over on the west side of town near the Skuylkill. It's basically a titty bar that serves steaks and stuff.

There's a great bar called Finegan's Wake if you want to see some live music. Not sure where that is, I was drunk when I went there by taxi with friends. Lots of great restaurants downtown too.

That Chiefs bar I believe is on the south side, like way down by the sports stadiums. I think.

I forgot to mention, the subway there is a great option. It's 2 bucks and not too crowded. I've even taken it from downtown to Citizen's Bank Park and it wasn't too crowded before or after the game. At least nothing like the NYC subways.

DJay23 · 06-19-2006, 09:48 AM

More is coming back as I sit and think. The Independence Brewpub is excellent. It's right next to Reading Terminal Market, which is also fun. They are both right next to the Convention center which is a few blocks east of the courthouse.

The best restaurant I ate at there was an Irish restaurant called Fado that was AWESOME!

There's also a sportsbar downtown, right next to the Hard Rock. It's called Champs I believe. Do not eat there. Friend of mine got food poisoning there and the place didn't seem to clean.

It looks like I can take the train and then the subway to within a 1/4 of a mile from my hotel.

Keep going the extra 200 miles, call Roethlisberger and see if he is game for a motorcycle ride.
