Things To Do and Places to Eat

Flanigan's Boathouse

One of our favorite spots to grab food and watch a game!

The Great American Pub

This is a great place for small bites and drinks. Definitely check out the rooftop! This is a good option if you are looking for a place to go between the church and reception.

Conshohocken Farmer's Market

The farmer's market is held every Saturday on the greenspace outside the Hotel West and Main from 9am-12pm. Check out the produce and goods and enjoy the live music.

Dalessandro's Steaks

Looking for the REAL best cheesesteak in Philly? This is Steph's vote! Any local will tell you that Pat's vs Geno's is just for tourists. But Dalessandro's is the real deal. Heads up, it is cash only and there is always a line, but I promise it will not disappoint.

Jim's South St.

Looking for the REAL best cheesesteak in Philly? This is Dan's pick! There was an unfortunate fire last year and they have been closed since, but they are supposed to be reopened by late summer 2023. Just check that they are open before you try it out.

Reading Terminal Market

This is foodie heaven!! A must do in Philly for lunch.

Forbidden Drive

This is one of our favorite spots to go for a walk or hike. It is beautiful in the fall! This is where most of our engagement photos were taken.

Longwood Gardens

You typically need tickets to enter, but it is a beautiful way to spend an afternoon.

Bar Sera

This is where we had our first date!

Peddler's Village

Very cute place if you are looking for a stop on the way home. There are lots of shops and a few restaurants. This is a good place to find fall or christmas decorations or unique gifts.

Guppy's Good Times

you have to try their sushi!

Eastern State Penitentiary

This is apparently one of the oldest prisons in the country. You can tour the grounds, but for the month of October the place transforms into a very creepy haunted house. Enter at your own risk! Definitely get tickets in advance.

Southern Cross Kitchen

They have a great brunch.

Spruce Street Harbor Park

Really cool spot to check out. There are food and drink vendors and hammocks over the river.

Jasper's Backyard

American food with a cool and cozy vibe. They have really nice outdoor seating.

Art Museum and Rocky Steps

Did you even go to Philly if you didn't get a selfie on the Rocky Steps?

From The Boot

This is our go to pizza place! Great pizza and Italian food. It is BYOB.

Old City

This part of Philly is very pretty to just walk around. This is where all of the historical sites are, including Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.

Independence Beer Garden

This is a super cool spot. There's tons of yard games and comfy chairs. All while taking in the view of Independence Hall. If your around Old City for sightseeing, definitely check out this spot.

Bar Lucca

Great Italian food.

Walk the Schuylkill River Trail

This walking/biking path is miles and miles long and has some scenic spots. It also goes right past the Philadelphia Art Museum if your interested in a long run or bike ride. Steph ran many miles on this trail when training for the marathon! There are entrances to the trail within walking distance to both the Hilton and Marriott in Conshohocken. There are also other scenic trails and walking paths connected to or nearby the SRT. If interested, check out the boardwalk (just past the Art Museum), Kelly drive, or MLK drive.

The StoneRose Restaurant

Queen & Rook Game Cafe

This is a cafe by day and bar by night. But the best part is that it is filled with board games to play while you enjoy or coffee or cocktail.

Deli on 4th

If you are looking for a breakfast sandwich, this is the place!

Barcade

This bar is filled with all of the most nostalgic games. Skeeball your heart out!

Frankford Hall

This is a German-style beer garden with long tables, fire pits, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Sampan

This is one of our favorite places to eat when we go into the city!

Morgan's Pier

Great sport to have a drink with a view. This is close to where we took some of our engagement photos.

Giorgio On Pine

Great Italian BYOB. We'd suggest making a reservation.

Dim Sum House By Jane G's - Rittenhouse

This is one of our other go-to places for dinner in the city.

Conshohocken Brewing Company

The food menu is small but the beer is great!

Chestnut Hill Brewing Company

You have to try one of their pizzas! They have great outdoor seating and next to the brewery is a large market similar to a smaller version of Reading Terminal Market in center city.

Forest & Main Brewing Company

This is one of Dan's favorite breweries.
