?? The city of Philadelphia is one of the most interesting and fascinating cities in America. It was once the countrys political http://www.bengalsnflgears.com/Black-Brandon-Thompson-Bengals-Jersey.html?cat=934 , cultural and geographical center. Now, as the 49th largest city in the world,
Philadelphia offers entertainment choices to history buffs, art lovers, sports
fans and those just hungry for a cheese steak.
Independence National Historic Park is a 45 acre area in the eastern part of Philadelphia that
contains some of Americas most important landmarks. Within the park youll find
Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence was signed), the
Liberty Bell http://www.bengalsnflgears.com/Black-Brandon-Tate-Bengals-Jersey.html?cat=931 , Franklin Square and the First Bank of the United States.
While not within the 45 acre park but still falling under the parks care are the historic homes
of Edgar Allan Poe, Betsy Ross and Thaddeus Kosciuszko. All of which are open
for tours.
As one would expect from a city as old as Philadelphia it contains several firsts for its country.
The city is home to the United States first zoo, penitentiary, and hospital.
The Philadelphia Zoo is still open; youll find it in Fairmount Park just two miles from downtown. Also
in Fairmount is the Eastern State Penitentiary. No longer holding prisoners, the
penitentiary is now a museum and historic site.
Pennsylvania Hospital is still in service but of all the attractions listed in this article, hopefully
this is the only one you wont have to visit.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is located at the west end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Fairmount
Park. Despite being one of the largest art museums in the country http://www.bengalsnflgears.com/Black-Brandon-LaFell-Bengals-Jersey.html?cat=915 , its claim to fame is having its steps immortalized in the film
Rocky.
Other notable venues for art fans include the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Rodin Museum, which houses the largest collection of
works by Auguste Rodin outside of France.
Youll find the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts on Broad Street, in a part of town known as the Avenue
of the Arts. The Kimmel Center is home to the Philadelphia Orchestra, Opera
Company of Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Ballet.
Sports fans have an embarrassment of riches. The city of Philadelphia not only has a franchise in
each of the four major North American professional sports leagues, they also
have a plethora of other pro teams as well.
The Phillies play their Major League Baseball games at Citizens Bank Park. The Eagles, an NFL
franchise http://www.bengalsnflgears.com/Black-Boomer-Esiason-Bengals-Jersey.html?cat=941 , play at Lincoln Financial Field. The NBAs 76ers and the NHLs Flyers both play at
the Wachovia Center.
In addition to those teams, Philadelphia has an Arena Football League team called the Soul (co owned by Jon Bon Jovi) and an
indoor lacrosse team called the Wings. They too play at the Wachovia
Center.
Playing at the soon to be demolished Wachovia Spectrum are the Phantoms, a minor league hockey team, and the KiXX, an indoor soccer
team.
Beginning in 2010, Philadelphia will be home to a Major League Soccer team and a womens professional soccer team.
If youre looking for something different http://www.bengalsnflgears.com/Black-Anthony-Munoz-Bengals-Jersey.html?cat=903 , check out Alhambra Arena, or simply the Arena, located in South Philly. There
youll find boxing and wrestling events. The Arena was once the home of the
legendary professional wrestling promotion, ECW.
Most of the aforementioned venues double as concert venues. Additionally, the Mann Music
Center, the Theater of the Living Arts http://www.bengalsnflgears.com/Black-Andy-Dalton-Bengals-Jersey.html?cat=904 , the Electric Factory and Festival Pier at Penns Landing are other great places
to catch the best live music in town.
Philadelphia is famous for a lot of things, but perhaps its most famous for its cheese steaks.
To get the best cheesesteak in town you only need to go to one intersection, 9th and
Passyunk in South Philadelphia. Thats where youll find Pat s King of Steaks
(also known as just Pat s Steaks) and Geno s Steaks.
For a sit down dinner, you might want to try Le Bec Fin located on Walnut Street. This French
restaurant once had a five star rating but owner and founder Georges Perrier
gave it up in favor of a more relaxed atmosphere and la carte
dining.
After dinner, Philly has several establishments to keep one entertained well into the night.
Johnny Brendas, located in Fishtown http://www.bengalsnflgears.com/Black-Andrew-Whitworth-Bengals-Jersey.html?cat=926 , is a great place to go for drinks and dinner. It also offers a very unique
setting to watch live shows.
The neighborhood of Northern Liberties is home to the night club Silk City, the hottest party in town. Besides music and
cocktails, Silk City also serves dinner.
The Royal Tavern located in South Philly, is one of the towns best gastro pubs. Go there for an authentic
Philadelphia experience.
Tria offers its customers fine wine, great beer and some of the countrys finest cheeses. They have two locations, one in
Rittenhouse Square and another in Washington Square West.
As you can see http://www.bengalsnflgears.com/Black-AJ-McCarron-Bengals-Jersey.html?cat=922 , the problem with entertaining yourself in Philadelphia isnt finding something to
do, but actually choosing exactly what to do among all the possibilities.
