If you are visiting Philadelphia, you must go down to South Philadelphia and walk around the Italian Market, that is on 9th Street between Washington and Christian Streets. You can buy cheap and fresh produce on the street and check out the butcher shops that have been there for decades catering to the neighborhood. At the end of the Italian Market you will see Anthony's to your right, which is a great place for a drink/snack dessert. On Christian street you will find a noodle factory and an Italian bakery. The market is open daily all year round.

This museum is dedicated to American artists. The collection is grand and encompasses many different works by both national and prominent local artists from many different time periods. The building itself is a historic treasure. It is quite grand and really breathtaking. There is this grand staircase in a large hall or room that is so opulent with its gold trimmings and the carvings, and the silver and bronze decorative features. It is just something you have to see! This is a real find and so very worth spending an afternoon exploring!

We visited this museum a while ago. There were a variety of items that were significant in Philly's history. My kids seem to remember two things. One is Mike Schmidt's baseball jersey. Sports things always stick in the kids minds! The other was the large map of the Philly area that you could walk all over, visiting different places and reading about them on a pamphlet that went with the walk. They really liked that! It was interesting. I recall that there were displays on many of the ethnic groups that have been important to Philly over the years and I think this is where we saw many of the Norman Rockwell magazine cover paintings, too.

This is a great place to visit and walk along in nature. The visitor center has nice displays and some are hands on so kids and big kids (adults) will enjoy them.
They also have trail guides, you can chose from a few different walks some are longer. There are lots of neat plants and animals to see. Turtles sun themselves along rocks and logs in the water and there are all kinds of birds. You can see deer and fox too. Binoculars are helpful for seeing animals in the distance. A camera is great to have too! Bring bug repellent and sunscreen and a picnic lunch and enjoy the great outdoors with the city skyline in sight.

I recently visited the Academy with my grandmother and my 5 year old cousin. Honestly, the Academy had exhibits that all of us were very interested in. My nephew loved the dinosaur Hall and the live animal center, my grandmother loved the excellent Lewis and Clark exhibit, and I enjoyed reading about the research projects that the Academy is currently working on.
The museum is centrally located in Center City Philadelphia just a few blocks from the Franklin Institute.

I am a football lover! Always I am looking for good deal on tickets. I found that you get the best prices during the off season. The customer service representatives are very informative. The Eagles are a great team and the stadium they play in is terrific.Football games are alway entertaining but sometime the people get out of hand. I wish they did not serve alcohol during these events. Nevertheless I think all Philadelphians should experience one Eagles game. It is something you will never forget

Kelly Drive parallels I-76 and offers an alternative to the freeway for other cars (avoid rush hour traffic by taking this route) and outdoor recreationalists. The trail is perfect for joggers, strollers, bicyclists, and people with dogs. It parallels the river so you can take in the scenery and the old boathouses on Boathouse Row. In the mornings, you can see people out rowing on the river or take part yourself. The trail goes all the way to Valley Forge if you are interested in a rather extensive day of biking - bring a picnic lunch and enjoy scenic Philadelphia as you re-enact the route taken by George Washington (three-cornered hat optional).
