Christmas Vacation?
After the game, Golden Shower has invited us over to meet his wife!
Hey GIP...since this thread has proven that gopherholers are terrible caption writers (not aimed at you, just a general statement about this thread), and you are online as I type this...tell me something; I have a full day (Wednesday) between meetings on Tuesday and Thursday, and I'll be in Philly. What should I do?
So, what to do on a Wednesday in Philly. Assuming you are in center city. I would start my day at Reading Terminal. Great coffee, get some breakfast and get the blood flowing. Or hit the 9th street Italian market and take it all in...oldest continous running outdoor market in America.
After that, head to Consitution Hall and see how our country was founded. It is great fun. After all the walking and site seeing you should be a little hungry again...so I am going to hit Fork on Market and 3rd. It is the best lunch in the city.
After lunch I am hitting the Franklin Institute, Art Museum or Rodin Museum. All on the same side of town and all are great. After that, back to my hotel to freshen up and then, depending on which part of the city I am staying in, I would either hit Olde City (2nd and Market) or Rittenhouse Square (18th and Walnut) for drinks/dinner. Many great options in both areas and lots of lively conversation.
Thank you! Was planning on Reading terminal, but didn't consider it for breakfast...altering plans now. New jump off point.
Love the lunchtime ideas. Also need to head to a Vespa dealer and hope to find a t-shirt at one of them (it's a thing of mine). Also planning on a late afternoon Guinness (or two) at Black Sheep. Plus I want to walk around boathouse row.
Forgot about the Rodin Museum...looking forward to that. I'm staying out closer to Pottstown, so I'll probably have dinner around there. But I'll push that out late to spend more time around Center City. How much time should I allocate to Valley Forge? I should be able to fit that in my schedule since I'll be arriving tomorrow in the afternoon.
