Philadelphians know how to relax and enjoy the finer things in life. From the
fine arts to fine dining, the City of Brotherly love offers many a splendored thing.
The art galleries of Olde City light up for First Friday receptions. The world-
renowned symphony tunes up for premier performances in the state-of-the-art
Kimmel Center, located on the city’s Avenue of the Arts, also home to the historic
Wilma Theater. Before the show, gather with good friends and ease into the
evening with cocktails in an intimate Victorian pub. Or make reservations for two,
Philadelphia’s dining scene always delivers on its world-class reputation. Your
taste buds will stand up and take notice as you savor the city’s restaurant
renaissance. When an afternoon of pampering is deserved, look no further than
the upscale boutiques of Walnut Street and Rittenhouse Square. Find everything
you desire within the city you now call home.
Penn’s Landing Area
The Penn’s Landing port area, which helped birth the city, is now finding
renewed energy as families and residents return to the river to find solace
along the banks of the Delaware. The river has long been a respite for
city-dwellers seeking recreation. Weekends bring rollerbladers, runners
and revelers to the many waterfront entertainment venues and restaurants.
Penn’s Landing is the launching point for boaters seeking sunny summer
afternoons on the water. It’s also home to an international sculpture garden,
outdoor festivals, concerts and celebrations. There is no better place to observe
Independence Day than in the city where it all began. Fireworks burst into color
and reflect the rockets’ red glare over the blue waters of the Delaware.
The waterfront community of Penn’s Landing (or "Queens Village") a refreshing
complement to Philadelphia’s Center City.
