Food Scene

I love this place for delicious affordable Ethiopian food and a good selection of craft beers. I'd highly recommend the Yedoro Wat. There's also some great vegetarian options. The place isn't much to look at, but it's a great casual place nearby for awesome food and drinks.

#2 best burger in the city. It's BYOB, and small. Grab any of their burgers and enjoy. My mouth is literally watering as I write this.

#1 best burger in the city. This burger has set the standard for me for a perfect burger. It's BYOB, super hipster, and worth it. Go for the Kobe, or Cyclops.

I love this place for it's unique beer brewed on site. They don't bottle it, so this is the only place you'll get to enjoy their unique creations. The food is good. Their burgers are hit or miss, but the beer is what I go for.

The Travel Channel's "Best Sandwich in America". Lines area long for their roast pork sandwich, but worth the wait. Redding Terminal is also a great destination to try lots of different food and some great Amish sweets.

Drinks & Nightlife

If you want a unique experience, you have to check out the Trestle. Multiple birthday nights have ended here, I think, or so I've been told ;) Their bartenders are some of the best mixologists in the city. My go-to's are the Black Power Sour and the Classic Whiskey Sour.

Parks & Nature

Fairmount Park is the largest city park in the world. It sprawls throughout the city and contains great public art, hiking, running and biking trails, museums, zoos and more. It's one of a kind. I love going for runs along the river early in the morning.

Grab a blanket and take a nap or have a picnic in this super trendy park. Expect to be asked for $1 repeatedly by the local friendly homeless. Or, give the buck to the performers juggling or playing music—your choice.

Arts & Culture

If arts and culture is your thing, the Philadelphia Museum or Art is a must see. Skip the Rocky line in front, and see some of the finest art in the world. I'm a member and visit regularly—I'll lend you my passes ;)

Eastern State Penitentiary was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers. Its vaulted, sky-lit cells once held many of America's most notorious criminals, including "Slick Willie" Sutton and "Scarface" Al Capone.

Sightseeing

City Hall is an underappreciated gem in Philly. Read the Wiki on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_City_Hall It's amazing, and was going to be demolished at one time. • Largest municipal building in the World • William Penn statue is the tallest atop any building in the world • 250 sculptures created by Alexander Milne Calder adorn the building inside and out

Chestnut Hill is a real cute area of Philadelphia, nicknamed the garden district—about a 30 minute drive from my place. Germantown Ave, the main artery running through the area has a ton of cute shops offering unique finds and great restaurants. I'd recommend McNally's Tavern for their classic Philly sandwich, The Schmitter.
