Things To Do

Museum of the American Revolution

While the exhibit will be open during our wedding, if you would like more of a detailed look, we highly recommend the museum!

Reading Terminal Market

Matt's favorite cheesesteak is Carmen's, but there are several options for all types of food!

Liberty Bell

Pro Tip: There is a window in the side where you can see it if the line is long!

Independence Hall

I would say go for the iconic history lesson, Matt would say go because Ben Gates did.

Zahav

Number one restaurant in America a couple years ago, we recommend making reservations early.

JG Sky High

Looking to see Philly from the best view possible? Dress up and go 60 floors up in the second Comcast building. You can make reservations or walk in. The view (and the bar) are breathtaking! The formal restaurant is Jean-Georges, which we don't recommend unless you are looking for a 4-hour dinner!

Independence Beer Garden

One of Matt and I's favorite places in the Summer.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Go in, or just run the Rocky steps like every tourist ever. We won't judge!

The Franklin Institute

Pizzeria Beddia

If we could marry a pizza, we would.

Angelo's Pizzeria

For those looking to venture a bit, Angelo's is Courtney's favorite cheesesteak and one of the top rated in the city (pizza too!). You have to call ahead and have some patience before getting through to a human! We swear it's worth it.

Sonny's Famous Steaks

Another great option for cheesesteaks near the hotel.

Campo's Philly Cheesesteaks

You be the judge!

Bloomsday Wine Pub & Retail Shop

Courtney is a wine-lover, but they have everything!

Amada

For those looking for dinner on Friday night, this is a lively Spanish tapas restaurant beloved by Philadelphians. Walking distance from the hotel.

The Olde Bar

Another great option for Friday night if the Zahav efforts come up empty (we get it, we've been there too!).

FRIEDA

Coffee and light breakfast near the hotel!

Old City Coffee, Inc.

Epic coffee spot with another location in Reading Terminal!

La Colombe Coffee Roasters

You can find these all over the city, but the original (and worth the uber) is in Fishtown!
