A partnership between
Global Yodel
and
Huffington Post
results in this local guide from photographer Darren Burton.
What is the best thing about Philadelphia?
Hands down, the food and the art. Last year Philadelphia was ranked #6 for the best food cities in America by the
Washington Post
. Most tourists only know of us for our cheesesteaks, which ironically we don't eat often. There are MANY amazing restaurants that will leave your stomach satisfied to say the least. In addition to tons of restaurants, you can also find many murals, museums and art galleries throughout the city...
Describe a perfect day in Philadelphia:
If my friend was at the The Logan Philadelphia Hotel for 24 hours, for starters, I would have them get breakfast at the Urban Farmer Restaurant on the 1st floor. (I'd suggest the Honey Biscuit with Country Sausage and Chicken.) After they eat I'd urge them to spend their afternoon on the parkway checking out the
Philadelphia Museum of Art
,
Academy of Natural Sciences
, and
The Franklin Institute
. Of course, after all the walking they'd be hungry, so, I'd suggest going to
Tela's Market
on 19th and Fairmount and eating their Softshell Crab Sandwich followed by a Strawberry Banana Gelato from
Philly Flavors
which is only one block away. By this time, I'm sure they'd be tired so I'd suggest to go to
The Logan Spa
back at the hotel for a nice massage and then a nap. When they awake during the evening I'd urge them to put on a casual outfit and head over to
Silk City
in the Northern Liberties neighborhood and grab a bite to eat. (I'd suggest getting the Shrimp & Grits.) After dinner, the grand finale would be to head on over to
The Fillmore
for a dope concert. When the concert is over, if they still wanted to party, I'd suggest dancing their little hearts out at
The Barbary
right down the street.
