Travel Tips
Welcome to Philly! I tried to select good places that matched your interests, and I grouped them according to location and a "walkable" distance. The restaurants are close to the sites and relatively inexpensive. I put a ($) next to a more moderately priced restaurant, and a (**) next to my favorites.

in Center City North
The Art Museum (Ben Franklin Parkway)
The Rodin Museum (Ben Franklin Parkway)
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts** (N. Broad & Cherry)
Places to eat: TGI Friday's, Rose Tatoo** ($). The Sheraton Hotel (17th & Race) has Phillips Restaurant ($) and The Terrace.

in Olde City
The National Liberty Museum** (3rd & Chestnut)
The Constitution Center** (6th & Market)
Places to eat: El Azteca, Society Hill Hotel & Restaurant, Jones**, Bookbinders ($), Cuba Libre ($). Also, the Bourse Building (5th & Market St.) has a food court.

in Center City South
Civil War Museum (18th & Pine)
The Historical Society of PA (13th & Locust)-- great library for history buffs!
Antique Row (independent shops along Pine St.)
Places to eat: Monk's (excellent burgers & beer), Mixto**, Ted's Montana Grill**, The Marathon Grill. There's a food court in the Bellevue Building (Broad & Walnut.)

The Fairmount section:
Eastern State Penitentiary** (old prison tours--cool place)
Restaurants: London Grill ($), Rembrandts, Jack's Firehouse ($)

Restaurants along Penn's Landing (The Waterfront):
Chart House**, Moshulu, LaVeranda ($$), Keating's River Grill (great for brunch)

To travel cheaply:
Philly PHLASH $1 per ride
SEPTA $5 (all-day pass)

Enjoy Philly!

You should definitely check out the The Franklin Institute Science Museum its excellent and very interesting.. there are plenty of things to do there and i believe they have another museum involving animals? they are right next to each other but i havent been to the other.

As for food i think you should go to Tony Luke's or Pat's Cheese Steaks.. Tony Luke's has a great chicken parm sandwich.

Heres a link to the website for the museum
