Located right in the middle of the city, it provides so much more than just the repeated photo on the divider in the middle of Broad Street. People from all walks of life come together here: tourists, doctors, lawyers, you name it."

"One of the most beautiful city halls in the country, the Philadelphia City Hall is a marvel of architecture and history. Older kids will like the 548-foot tower and an observation deck—accessible during guided tours—that provides a panoramic view of the city."

Many fantastic artifacts, battle simulations, and videos walk visitors through the war’s pivotal moments."

"Philadelphians are insanely particular about their hoagies, this region’s go-to word for what sandwich fans in other parts of the country might call a sub or hero. Consistency in both construction and quality ingredients is paramount in this category — lucky for us, both boxes earn emphatic checks at Antonio’s in South Philly. Though famous for their veggie hoagie (Roman-style baked eggplant, broccoli rabe, marinated peppers and a blend of house-aged sharp provolone cheeses), this unassuming shop does pretty much everything well, including some mean beef-pork-veal meatballs made by hand and simmered all day in the house "gravy" (red sauce)."

"Though Philly-style hoagies — you might call them heros or subs — are typically the domain of meat lovers, one version offered at Antonio’s Deli ditches the cold cuts entirely. Built on seeded bread from nearby bakery Sarcone’s, the veggie hoagie stacks up rounds of Roman-style baked eggplant, garlicky broccoli rabe and marinated red peppers, all sprinkled with a shredded sharp provolone blend. With plenty of heft and a price of just $8, it’s the vegetarian heavyweight of Antonio’s hoagie selection."

"At Germantown Garden, you can find another one of the best photo spots in Philadelphia. There is a sign that says "Everything's fine". This is a lovely photo to capture."

In addition to hosting more than 1,000 performances annually (find a full list of shows here), the theater offers improv, sketch comedy writing and stand-up classes. Head over to 2030 Sansom St. to see for yourself."

"Since its opening in 2005 PHIT Comedy has been the heart of Philadelphia’s rapidly expanding and nationally recognized comedy scene. PHIT Comedy produces over 1,000 performances annually, with shows on multiple stages, 7 nights a week, every week of the year."

"11th St., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the comedy spot 4.5 stars out of 43 reviews. Visitors can expect a BYOB black box theater that houses up to four wildly different live comedy shows per night, including stand-up, sketch, improv, storytelling and everything in between."
