A Couple Days in Philadelphia.
We had a couple days to explore Philadelphia. I've only been there a couple times and my Mom had never been there. We wanted to line up some fun things to do. I got some great hints from our friend Ted. He told me where to get the original Philly cheese steaks
(Pat's or Gino's, he prefers Pat's) and how to order (whiz, with).I have to say...cheese steaks are disgusting. I know it's blasphemous to say that, sorry all you cheese steak fans but those sandwiches are nasty. We got to check out a Phillies game. What a great stadium.
I went shopping at H&M. I want an H&M here!!!! And of course we had a couple fun meals. Ted recommended a place called the Continental. They have one on 3rd and one in Central City. Really fun cocktails and a kind of global food menu in a fantastic environment. We had a nibble, cocktails and a beautiful view at a place called XIX. French food at Parc on Rittenhouse Square. Greek food at South Street Slouvaki. New Asian at Pearl and Susanne Foo's. Our last day we spent six hours at the Philadelphia Art Museum. 
It's incredible. What a collection. We explored the main museum. Took a lunch break at a beautiful restaurant called Waterworks that's walking distance. Then we finished our museum tour at the Perelman Building which featured an exhibit of Calder's Jewelry. I think Philadelphia is an amazing town. If I have to go to Delaware, thank heavens we have Phillie just minutes away.
