If we’re talking touristy stuff, then the Art Museum and the Liberty Bell

Cheesteak, Franklin institute, Art Museum, The Rodin museum, Museum of Natural Sciences, the food ( along with the cheesesteaks, must be mentioned twice), soft pretzels. I miss my city!

Ah yeah! The Franklin institute is a classic. And don't worry, your city misses you too :)

I’ve never done the lantern festival, I guess I should make an effort to visit this summer. I’ve also been meaning to check out the Rodin museum for an eternity. Maybe I can make a day of it and do the Rodin before heading over to the lantern fest.

That sounds like fun day to me!

I realize I haven’t shared any of my favorite activities. I’ve had annoying interactions with their security staff, but on nice days the view from the rooftop at the Cira Green is fantastic. Great spot to sit in the grass with a cold beer.

Wissahickon Park is always nice and relaxing too.
