Ultimate Guide to The City of Brotherly Love
Food scene
One of the best cheesesteak spots in Philadelphia. Located in a fantastic community, about 6min drive away. They have an excellent staff. Also, a walk-up window where you can quickly place your order if you don't want to dine in or call ahead of time for super quick pickups. They are both allergy friendly and have Gluten Free buns. Only downside is parking, i would recommend Lyft or Uber for this outing.

My ultimate favorite! I'm a foodie and if your like me and love Mexican food, this is it! Amazing food, with great portions. I would personally recommend the make your own taco option for 2 with a combo of shrimp and steak. It's in Center City about a 15min drive. Always make reservations
to avoid any long wait time.

Just an excellent place to chill, vibe out and get some fresh air. It's an urban beach located in Penn's Landing, a 13min Lyft ride. Open during the summer months. It's simply beautiful at night! Breathtaking lights all over. You can stroll along the boardwalk, lay in a cozy colorful hammock. Grab a bite to eat. Need i say more?! Just a fun and relaxing vibe anyone can experience.

Have some fun! Go ice skating in the winter and roller skating in the summer. This outdoor skating rink right next to the riverside walkway has a great atmosphere. After that, there's a ferry that takes you across the river to the aquarium. This is a must see when visiting the city!
