Going to Philadelphia in March. Tips for the city?

[|Zach|]

Staying at the Hyatt at Penn's Landing. Where are some interesting places to go?

Would like a good place to go out and have some drinks...

A nice place to grab breakfast...

A place to have a nice dinner. Not anything super omega expensive but nice.

Also any other interesting stuff worth checking out. Because it is weird and interesting looking we may hit up the Mutter Museum...a medical science museum.

Heard the Liberty Bell is so so as an attraction. Any better places to catch Rev war history?

Thanks in advance.

Oh, and Tastycakes. Pick em up at a WaWa's

I agree, Jim's is the best. I always liked South Street in the 90's but haven't been there in a few years so not exactly sure what it's turned into. Was a cool place for record stores (611 and Digital Underground).

Go to Independence Hall and the Barnes is a great place.

I've stayed at the Sheraton just on the other side of 95 by Penn's Landing several times. I don't know how it is now, but the Chart House used to be a pretty nice place to eat. You can take a ferry from Penn's Landing over to New Jersey and go to the aquarium. They also have the USS Olympia there as well.
Don't miss the Liberty Bell and independence Hall.

My only advise is if someone on the street tries to sell you on the idea of going to a club that offers free foot long Philly cheesesteaks...dont go!!! They're not the kind you'd think they are!!!!
