UT makes a valid point.
Hubris, I am flattered. If it were safe, I'd send you a cheesesteak in the mail from Philip's. However, I CAN tell you the best sub/seafood/pizza restaurant run by Asians in Northern Prince George's County if you're heading down 95 anytime soon.
I will not assume anything here, so here's an example of things I would do on a weekend in Philadelphia...if I had money...and if I didn't have to work on Saturdays.
--South Street: Lots of great restaurants, lots of great bars, lots of little shops, lots of people period--probably the most diverse locale in the city at any given time.
--Art Museum: Walk the steps Rocky walked. Fine collection of works.
--Independence Hall/Liberty Bell: Obviously significant historic value.
--Manayunk: Another location with bars, shops, and restaurants...tres chic, but not as cool IMO as South Street.
--Franklin Institute: Philadelphia's museum of science.
--Old City: Eastern section of the Central Business District...some historical buildings and a variety of restaurants...also Penn's Landing (the waterfront).
--S.S. United States: You can't go on it, but you at least have to drive by it. It may old and rusted out, but it is just huge! Bigger than the Titanic...and still floating.
If you're a fan of shopping:
--The Plaza and Court at King of Prussia: one big mall and a smaller version--lots of stores
--Franklin Mills: Huge outlet mall w/2000 stores. Okay, more like 200.
Cheesesteaks...oooooh...so many places...so little time...see the thread. But if you're in Center City, try and find one from the "Cardiac Carts." Damn, they're good.
One thing I like to do when I'm in any new place is to drive around...everywhere. I would not recommend a visitor to drive into N or W Philadelphia, although I do it in a heartbeat.
