Drinks & Nightlife
It is RIGHT by the house and feels like you are stepping into a little British pub. Menu is delicious and the drinks are reasonably priced. It's usually pretty quiet and has outdoor seating for nice evenings.

The bar is open during the summer but there are a ton of businesses open year round. There is even a new coffee shop here all within steps of the house.

Sightseeing
You can't come to Philly and not visit the corner where Pat's and Geno's is. I wouldn't suggest actually eating here (Go to Jim's on 4th and South!), but it IS iconic.
