FlaSoxxJim Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Heading out to Philadelphia this Friday for a conference. Any must-sees or must-dos other than seeing that bell with the crack in it or running up the "Rocky Stairs"? Planning on taking in the Phillies/Mets game on Friday night. I don't know how attendance has been, but I assume in this post-championship season it's been pretty good. Flying solo I'll usually not worry about tickets until I get to the park - is that a mistake this time around? Also hoping to get to the Aquarium over in Camden to see some people I know and hopefully getting to a museum or two. I'll eat cheese-steaks until whiz is coming out my ears, and I haven't decided if I'll work up to scrapple. Don't know if Alex PA is out there lurking, but if so, you know you are encouraged to seek me out and buy me beers. Thanks for any insights you all might have.

Milkman delivers Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 There's one particular thing I love to see when I'm there. It's a sign that reads "Now Leaving Philadelphia". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 There's actually a highly regarded (supposedly one of the best in the country) beer bar called Monk's that blends Cantilion lambic on-site and has a bajillion draft and bottleed Belgian beers, so that's on the roster for sure. Anybody here been there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Don't drive. They are easily the worst drivers in the nation there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have to be second worse cause the drivers on the Dan Ryan take top claim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
