Go to the Art Museum. Run up the steps...Rocky...South Street is always cool. It has scores of cool clubs, restaurants and shops. It's within walking distance of the river too.Check the schedule for The Palestra. Philly college teams use it for basketball games. It's about the size of a high school gym, so the perspective is really cool.Flyers hockey...If you need to Xmas shop, drive out the Schuykill Expy to King of Prussia Mall. It's huge. If you can't find it there, you don't need it.Valley Forge is right next to the mall if you are down for some history.IM me for more options...

At Pat's you'll eat outside or take it with you. Worth it man...Gino's is on the opposite corner from Pat's, you'll want to try there too. I like Pat's better.
