Hey guys! I'm in Philladelphia (acutally just outside in Bensalem) till friday evening on business and the weather is is absolutely FANTASTIC.

Mind you I'm used to 70-80 deg. weather everyday all year long and having it sit just under 66 in the day and 40 at night is so refreshing.

Whats there to do here? I'm planning on running up the stairs of the art museum like Rocky, having a Philly Cheesesteak.

Any advice?

One of my ex's live out in bensalem...Please do not go to Pats and Gino's to get a cheesesteak. That would be the biggest waste of your hard earned money. You wanna go to this place called Gooey Looies. Thats at 231 McClellan Street, Philadelphia, PA 19148 . I took Kevin there to get a cheesesteak and he likeded it. They're huge and cheap. Aint really much to see here in philly specially since most of the stuff is best seen by catching the bus...but since Public Trans is down..that wont do you much good.

I haven't been to Gooey Looies yet but I have heard about it from the people I used to work with in the grocery store. I have to suggest going to Tony Luke's and getting a pulled pork sandwich (if you eat that kind of thing). Philly is very walkable, just come down (after rush hour with the SEPTA mess) park around city hall and enjoy walking it.
- Walk through independence mall (5th & Market area)
- Walk the Parkway (art museum, franklin institute, other various points of interest)
- Go to the restaurants in the area

Old City sucks, you want to go out in Rittenhouse. A lot of the good bars from Old City have opened up larger and better versions of their Old City counterparts. Old City has turned into a bunch of meathead drunk looking to prove something.
