Hellobee Boards

hi from philadelphia! Rittenhouse would be my recommendation. I would not walk to the stadium if anything take the broad street subway line from city hall to the stadium, you'll be with a lot of the people going to and from the game and its much safer and only cost $2. Rittenhouse has great restaurants, bars and shopping and you can walk to the historic stuff, museums, and other parts of the city much easier than if you were at penns landing

I definitely wouldn't recommend walking from Center City to the stadium. The area's not bad, but I wouldn't do it myself, and I've got a pretty thick skin when it comes to that kind of thing.

I'm going back to Philly this weekend and staying at the DoubleTree. It's right on Broad St, across the street from a subway stop, and within easy walking distance of pretty much everything you'll want to see - Rittenhouse Square, Washington Square West, Ben Franklin Parkway, and even Old City is just 12 blocks.

Rittenhouse is just west of city hall and still considered "center city"
If your looking for bar/pub I love McGillins - Oldest bar in the city! Est in 1860's (13th and Sansom), Fado (15th & Locust) For Trendy - Continental mid town (18th & Chestnut) or any Steven Starr or Jose Garcias restaurants. Quick eats there's Shake Shake, Chickie & Pete's or you can head to any of the cheesesteak joints (Geno's, Pats, Tony Lukes) oh and you must go to Reading Terminal Market

if its not too chilly take a walk up the ben franklin parkway to the art museum, natural history museum, or franklin institute. Or head toward the river and see the liberty bell, south street, penns landing, italian market

@sslm: The Westin is in Liberty Place which is right in Center City on 16th and Chestnut, very walkable to so many other things. Rittenhouse is on 18th and Walnut...and there are so many good places to eat surrounding both of those areas. And it's a nice hotel!

And if you're really into walking, you can go up the Ben Franklin Parkway, around the Art Museum, and there's a trail that takes you right by the river. You can see the other side of Boathouse Row from there.

Walnut Street has nice shopping of more expensive brands, but there are also so many little boutique shops as well. And I'm not sure how late in November you're going, but the Comcast Center has a holiday show that they put on beginning after Thanksgiving that runs every hour. Even if you're going earlier in November, their big screen in their lobby is cool to check out. That's on 17th and JFK Blvd.

There's great shops in the Liberty II lobby and a food court and I highly recommend Samson St Oyster house if you're into seafood. My mom works in Liberty Place I'm very familiar with the building and surrounding area. You picked a great spot to visit

Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I love the Mutter Museum!

@ms.line: Yes! The Mutter is so cool!

@catlady: @Canoli: DH and I had our first date at Monk's, too! I miss it so...we spent WAY too much time and money there (he lived 3 blocks away when we met, and when we moved in together we were only 1 block away, soooo...yeah).

@Canoli: @PurplePeony: Lol, that's amazing!

@sslm: I prefer Pat's. Geno's is too flashy for me, ha. I've never personally eaten at Tony Luke's, but I've heard theirs are the best in Center City.

I just got back from visiting Philly for the weekend and my bestie and I had brunch Sunday morning at Green Eggs Cafe at 13th and Locust. Cannot recommend it enough. Nutella Latte and Red Velvet Pancakes. I was heartbroken that I couldn't take my leftovers with me.

I'm with @2PeasinaPod for this one! Pat's all the way. I love steaks after the game- it's a cool atmosphere but it is mobbed!
